Commemorates 45th anniversary of enactment of Taiwan Relations Act and 35th anniversary of New Jersey-Taiwan sister state relationship.
This Senate Resolution (SR 98) commemorates two milestones: the 45th anniversary of the U.S. Taiwan Relations Act (enacted April 10, 1979) and the 35th anniversary of New Jersey’s sister-state relationship with Taiwan. It formally recognizes the longstanding economic and diplomatic ties between the U.S. and Taiwan, including $127.5 billion in bilateral trade in 2023, and highlights New Jersey’s $723 million in exports to Taiwan and 200 Taiwanese companies investing in the state. The resolution directs the Senate to send copies to the American Institute in Taiwan and Taiwan’s New York representative office, expressing support for continued economic and educational collaboration. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws or alter policy.
