Joint resolution relating to Montana and Taiwan's economic relationship

This Montana joint resolution (LC 1361) symbolically recognizes Montana's 40-year sister-state relationship with Taiwan, established in 1985. It highlights Montana's economic ties, noting Taiwan was Montana's eighth-largest export market in 2023 ($61.5 million in trade). The resolution formally reaffirms Montana's commitment to strengthening Montana-Taiwan relations, commemorates the 40th anniversary, and advocates for Taiwan's participation in international organizations. It also endorses closer U.S.-Taiwan economic partnership, including potential bilateral trade and tax agreements, though the resolution itself has no legal effect beyond expressing support.
