Bill Summary

25-016 CONCERNING STRENGTHENING THE SISTER-STATE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE STATE OF COLORADO AND TAIWAN, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, REAFFIRMING SUPPORT FOR TAIWAN'S INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION.

AI Summary

This joint resolution affirms the long-standing sister-state relationship between Colorado and Taiwan, which has existed since 1983, and reaffirms their shared values of democracy, freedom, and human rights. The resolution highlights the strong economic ties between Colorado and Taiwan, noting Taiwan's consistent ranking among Colorado's top ten trading partners, and references a recent trade delegation led by Lieutenant Governor Dianne Primavera that explored opportunities in high-tech industries like aerospace, agriculture, and semiconductors. The document expresses support for Taiwan's sovereignty in the face of pressure from the People's Republic of China and advocates for Taiwan's inclusion in international organizations such as the United Nations, World Health Organization, and International Civil Aviation Organization. Specifically, the resolution calls for: (1) supporting Taiwan's sovereignty and democracy while celebrating their 42-year relationship, (2) strengthening trade and academic exchanges, (3) supporting a bilateral tax agreement to promote investment, and (4) endorsing Taiwan's participation in key international forums. As a final action, the resolution directs that a copy be sent to the Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Denver.
