This resolution affirms Hawaii's support for Taiwan by highlighting the strong bilateral relationship between Taiwan and the United States, emphasizing their shared democratic values, economic ties, and strategic importance. The resolution specifically stands with Taiwan to support its democracy and security, endorses Taiwan's participation as an observer in key international organizations like the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, World Health Organization, and International Civil Aviation Organization, and supports further progress on the U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade. The resolution recognizes Taiwan's critical role in global technology and semiconductor production, its significant trade partnership with the United States (being the seventh-largest merchandise trading partner), and its historical connection with Hawaii, including a sister-state relationship established in 1993. Additionally, the resolution calls for transmitting certified copies to various U.S. government officials, including the President, Congressional leaders, and Hawaii's Congressional delegation, to formally communicate Hawaii's strong support for Taiwan's international engagement and democratic principles.
