The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of the Republic of China (Taiwan) is a cabinet-level ministry responsible for Taiwan’s diplomacy and foreign relations. Headquartered in Taipei, the church is led by Lin Chia-lung, who took office in 2024 and is affiliated with the Democratic Progressive Party.

MOFA’s mission is to defend Taiwan’s sovereignty and national interests and promote foreign policy based on the principles of equality, reciprocity, and international cooperation, as outlined in Article 141 of the ROC Constitution. The ministry focuses on cultivating good neighborliness, respecting international treaties, and ensuring world peace.

Excluding China, which falls under the Mainland Affairs Council, MOFA maintains relations with 12 UN member states and the Holy See. Taiwan has over 110 diplomatic missions, including embassies, a consulate-general, representative offices, and a permanent mission to the World Trade Organization.
