This joint resolution reaffirms Delaware's longstanding sisterhood partnership with Taiwan, highlighting the shared values of freedom, democracy, and human rights. The resolution celebrates Taiwan's strong democratic status, noting its high ranking by Freedom House and the Heritage Foundation, and recognizes the economic relationship between Delaware and Taiwan, which includes nearly $289 million in trade volume in 2024. It supports Taiwan's efforts to secure a Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) and an Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement (ADTA) with the United States, and emphasizes Taiwan's critical role in global information and computer technology (ICT) industries and supply chains. The resolution commends Taiwan's vibrant democracy and supports its meaningful participation in international organizations, while also calling for continued strengthening of the sisterhood partnership established in 2000. As a final action, the resolution directs copies of the document to be sent to Delaware's Governor Matt Meyer and Ambassador Alexander Yui of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States.
