Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission 蒙藏委員會 Agency overview Formed February 1, 1929 Dissolved December 31, 2011 Jurisdiction Free Area of the Republic of China Headquarters No. 5 XuZhou Street, 4th Floor Zhongzheng District Taipei, Republic of China Minister responsible Kao Su-Po Parent agency Executive Yuan Website http://www.mtac.gov.tw/ (Chinese (Taiwan)) The Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission (Chinese: 蒙藏委員會) is one of two ministry-level commissions of the Executive Yuan in the Republic of China. It will be subsumed into Mainland Affairs Council in 2012.
It was originally created during the Qing dynasty as a subsection of the Lifan Yuan, and oversaw the relationship of the Qing court to its Mongolian and Tibetan dependencies. In early years of the Republic it did much of the same function. However, after the Republic of China relocated to Taiwan, it serves as a governmental body which assists in the relationship between ethnic Mongols and Tibetans in Taiwan and increasing the communication between the Taiwanese and the Mongols as well as the Tibetans. Inaugural addresses were delivered by the Chairman of the Commission.[1]

The building incorporates traditional Tibetan architectural features. It also includes an exhibition Area for cultural artifacts, a reading room, lecture Hall, and Prayer Hall for the Changkya Khutukhtu.[2]
