TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan will change the designation for South Korea on its e-arrival card system to “Korea (South),” Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung said on Sunday.

Lin said in an Era News interview that the foreign ministry has demanded a response from Seoul by next Tuesday after it changed Taiwan’s name to “China, Taiwan” on its e-arrival card system last year. If the mislabeling is not rectified, Taiwan will reciprocate, he said, per CNA.

Taiwan already changed the country’s name in its Alien Resident Certificate system from “Republic of Korea” to “South Korea” earlier this month. 

The foreign minister said that South Korea asked Taiwan to use “Seoul” instead of “Hancheng” and “Republic of Korea” instead of “South Korea” more than a decade ago, and Taiwan complied. However, South Korea has now ignored Taiwan’s requests. Lin emphasized that diplomacy is about reciprocity and dignity, and Taiwan must take control of its negotiation strategy.

Lin said that when Taiwan’s delegation attended last year’s APEC summit in Gyeongju, the South Korean government did not communicate directly with Taiwan’s representative office in Korea. It relayed messages indirectly through its representative office in Taipei instead, which he described as condescending.
