History
Originally called the Coordination Council for North American Affairs (CCNAA), it was established in 1979 after the United States established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.
In 1994, as a result of the Clinton Administration's Taiwan Policy Review, the name of the CCNAA office in Washington, D.C. (which functioned as an embassy) was changed to Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO). Similarly, the names of the twelve other CCNAA offices (which functioned as consulates) were changed to Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO).
