The Oregon Consular Corps (OCC) is an organization of career and honorary consular officials who serve or have served as representatives of foreign nations and jurisdictions in Oregon and in the Pacific Northwest. OCC members represent approximately 40 nations as well as the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Seattle.

The Oregon Consular Corps (OCC), representing foreign nations and jurisdictions in the Pacific Northwest, advocates for peaceful resolutions to global conflicts. As tensions unfold and escalate in certain regions, the OCC emphasizes the importance of diplomacy and dialogue in achieving peaceful resolutions and upholding sovereignty.

Consuls and honorary consuls are officially appointed by a foreign nation and recognized by the U.S. Department of State. They render assistance and protection to nationals of the countries they represent and serve as spokespersons for that  government.  They also promote ties between Oregon and the nations they represent.

Honorary members of the Oregon Consular Corps are individuals who have represented the U.S. government abroad as ambassadors. Associate members of the OCC are individuals from Oregon who have international ties to business, trade, education, and culture. 

The Oregon Consular Corps promotes activities that support international trade, business, exchange and education. Each year the Oregon Consular Corps, in cooperation with its sister organization the Oregon Consular Corps Scholarship Fund, organizes the Celebrate Trade gala which raises funds to support scholarships at six Oregon universities.

Oregon has been host to foreign consular services since 1921. The Oregon Consular Corps is officially recognized as a 501(c)(7) organization. The Oregon Consular Corps Scholarship Fund is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
