Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission
On 21 May 2012, the Mainland Affairs Council released a press release saying that Outer Mongolia is not a part of the Republic of China, whilst the Constitutional Court of the Republic of China (regarding interpretation of the Republic of China constitution) and the Republic of China's Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission remained neutral on the Mongolian issue. Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs opened a representative office in Mongolia in 2002 with reciprocity from Mongolia in Taiwan in 2003.
