Meritorious Service Record

In November 1921, Guo Taiqi served as the Director of Public Relations in the Office of the Grand President of the Guangdong Constitutional Protection Government. In this role, he actively worked to secure formal recognition of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.
In 1941, as China's representative to the League of Nations, he advocated for Korea’s independence on the international stage. From November of that year, as the Foreign Minister of the Chinese Nationalist Government, he actively cooperated in the official recognition of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and the Korean Liberation Army. His contributions were acknowledged by the Executive Board of the United Korean Committee in America (在美韓族聯合委員會). He maintained close communication with key Korean independence leaders, including Kim Gu (金九), the Chairman of the Provisional Government, and Kim Won-bong (金元鳳) of the Korean National Revolutionary Party, helping to secure cooperation and support from the Chinese Nationalist Government.
Following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1942, Guo Taiqi was appointed as the Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom. During his visit to Washington, the U.S. government inquired about the Provisional Government’s commitment to the war against Japan, prompting him to consult with Korean independence activists in Chongqing.
On March 1, 1943, he attended the 24th anniversary of the March 1st Independence Declaration, hosted by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. Throughout his career, he made significant efforts to support Korea’s independence movement and the formal recognition of the Korean Provisional Government.
The South Korean government posthumously awarded him the Order of Merit for National Foundation (Independence Medal) in 1968.
