This concurrent resolution stands with Taiwan to support its democracy and security by affirming multiple diplomatic and economic commitments. The resolution highlights Taiwan's significant economic importance, noting its role as the world's largest semiconductor producer and a key trading partner of the United States, with bilateral trade totaling over $158 billion. It reaffirms the United States' longstanding commitment to Taiwan through the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act and supports Taiwan's participation as an observer in international organizations like the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, World Health Organization, and International Civil Aviation Organization. The resolution also endorses further progress on the United States-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade and emphasizes the shared values of democracy and human rights between the two nations. Additionally, the resolution calls for transmitting certified copies to key US government officials, including the President, congressional leaders, and Hawaii's congressional delegation, to underscore the state's support for Taiwan's international engagement and security.
