MOFA to retaliate if S Korea does not fix Taiwan’s name on travel systemBy Hollie Younger / Staff writer, with CNAThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) today said that if South Korea does not reply appropriately to its request to correct Taiwan’s name on its e-Arrival card system before March 31, it would take corresponding measures to alter how South Korea is labeled on the online Taiwan Arrival Card system. South Korea’s e-Arrival card system lists Taiwan as “China (Taiwan)” in the “point of departure” and “next destination” fields.

The ministry and Taiwan’s representative office in South Korea have appealed to Seoul to replace the name as soon as possible. Taiwan and South Korea have long maintained close relations and exchanges in trade, culture and tourism, it added.
