Following the signing of the Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China which resulted in the United States terminating diplomatic relations with the Republic of China, the consulate of the Republic of China in Honolulu was closed on 28 February 1979. On 1 March 1979, the Coordination Council for North American Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China established the Honolulu Office of the North American Affairs Coordinating Committee. On 30 April 1992, it was renamed the Honolulu Office of the North American Affairs Coordinating Committee and October 10, it was finally renamed the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Honolulu.{{cite web|url=http://www.rcils.nccu.edu.tw/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/中華民國與各國互駐代表機構之建制年表及疑考-.pdf|title=中華民國與各國互駐代表機構之建制年表及疑 (1949~2006)|newspaper=rcils.nccu.edu.tw|date=2012|access-date=August 14, 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1977-80v01/d104|title=104.
