From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Consulate General of the United Kingdom, Hanoi was the British government's representative office in North Vietnam in the period 1954–1973. At this time the consulate general did not have diplomatic or consular status, since Britain did not officially recognise the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam, instead the office was accredited to the Hanoi municipal authorities.
The establishment of diplomatic relations with North Vietnam followed the January 1973 Paris Peace Accords between North Vietnam and the USA. In 1975 the British embassy in Vietnam was relocated from Saigon to Hanoi.
