WASHINGTON: The United States is preparing to move its de facto embassy in Taiwan to a new site next month, media reports said.

Nearly 500 staff, including active US military personnel, will relocate to the new US$255 million complex in the Neihu district, Taipei on May 6.

They will leave behind the old premises that was set up to defend Taiwan against any military action from Beijing before 1979.

The new American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) will occupy a five-floor office and other buildings that take up about one-third of the 6.5-hectare site.

It took more than nine years to build the new structure. (Agencies)
