Bill > HR21

This resolution, passed by the Hawaii House of Representatives, endorses Taiwan's participation as an observer in key international organizations like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the International Civil Aviation Organization, and the International Criminal Police Organization, recognizing Taiwan's contributions to global issues and its shared values with the United States. It also encourages the United States Trade Representative to begin negotiations for an agreement on the avoidance of double taxation with Taiwan, which would strengthen bilateral trade and investment by preventing individuals and businesses from being taxed twice on the same income. Furthermore, the resolution commemorates the 33rd anniversary of the sister-state relationship between Hawaii and Taiwan, highlighting their enduring friendship, mutually beneficial exchanges in areas like tourism and education, and Taiwan's generous support for Hawaii, particularly after the 2023 Maui wildfires.
