Reaffirming the commitment of sister ties between Indiana and Taiwan.

This House Resolution (HR 50) is a symbolic statement reaffirming Indiana's longstanding sister-state relationship with Taiwan, established in 1979. It formally supports the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act and encourages Indiana officials and businesses to deepen economic and cultural ties with Taiwan, referencing recent trade agreements and investments (like Taiwan's $6.4 billion agricultural commitment to Indiana). The resolution does not create new laws or funding but urges continued engagement based on shared values and existing trade data (e.g., Taiwan being Indiana's ninth-largest Asian export market in 2024). It also opposes distortions of UN Resolution 2758 regarding Taiwan's international participation.
