The Sino-Ryukyuan Cultural and Economic Association (zh: 中琉文化经济协会) (jp: ちゅうりゅうぶんかけいざいきょうかい) is a cultural and economic exchange office operated by the Republic of China in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.
History
The Sino-Ryukyuan Cultural and Economic Association was founded in 1958 by Fang Chih in an effort by the Republic of China to foster cultural and economic ties between the people of Taiwan and the people of Ryukyu-Okinawa.
In 2006, the association was incorporated into the TECO system though it retained its name.
In 2012, Chairwoman Tsai Hsueh-ni was presented with the Order of the Rising Sun by the Japanese government in recognition of her social welfare exchange contributions between Japan and Taiwan.
