用户:Addis-Bot/20140530/List of diplomatic missions in Hong Kong
This is a list of consular posts in Hong Kong. As of January 2008, there are 57 consulates-general and 57 consulates (including those represented by honorary consuls, denoted by asterisks (*)), and five officially recognised bodies in Hong Kong.[1] Most of the consulates-general are located in the areas of Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, Wan Chai North, Causeway Bay and Sheung Wan within Victoria City. Only two are located in Kowloon (Cambodia and Nepal), in the areas of Tsim Sha Tsui and Tsim Sha Tsui East respectively.
Of these, 51 consulates-general and seven honorary consulates are also accredited to Macau (as at 2006, denoted by hash signs (#)). There are 10 honorary consulates in Macau, of which two are subordinate to the consulates-general in Hong Kong.[2]
Due to Hong Kong's status as a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China], some consuls-general in Hong Kong have the rank of ambassadors, such as the consuls-general of Brazil,[3] Denmark,[4] Japan,[5] the Philippines[6] and Saudi Arabia,[7] while some have served elsewhere as ambassadors or high commissioners before serving in Hong Kong, e.g., the consuls-general of Australia,[8] Canada,[9][10] Germany,[11] Israel,[12] the Netherlands,[13] New Zealand,[14] the United Kingdom[15] and the United States.[16]
When Hong Kong was under British administration, diplomatic missions of Commonwealth countries, such as Canada,[17] Australia[18] New Zealand[19] India[20] Malaysia[21] and Singapore[22] were known as Commissions, but after the transfer of sovereignty to China in 1997, they were renamed Consulates-General.[23] with the last commissioner becoming consul-general.[24]
At the time of the transfer of sovereignty, South Africa did not have diplomatic relations with the People's Republic, as it had not yet transferred recognition from Taiwan,[25] but was able to maintain its Consulate-General for an interim six-month period, until relations with the People's Republic were established on January 1, 1998.[26]
Norway maintained a Consulate General until 2003, and Honorary Consulate until 2004[27][28] but reopened its Consulate in 2008[29]
