context_page_description: The Republic of China government recognized the formation of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea on April 13, 1919, as one of the participants of the Cairo Conference, which resulted in the Cairo Declaration. One of the main purposes of the Cairo Declaration was to create an independent Korea, free from Japanese colonial rule. Bilateral diplomatic relations between the Government of Republic of Korea and the Republic of China began in 1948, just after the foundation of the First Republic. After the Chinese Civil War in 1949, the Republic of Korea maintained relations with the Republic of China.
  Diplomatic relations between South Korea and Republic of China were terminated on 23 August 1992, followed by South Korean recognition of the People's Republic of China and formation of bilateral recognition between them. Both countries have strong non-diplomatic relations. South Korea sent military personnel in the Political Warfare training in Fu Hsing Kang College.
