Joint Resolution Expressing Friendship and Support for Taiwan

This resolution expresses Utah's longstanding friendship with Taiwan, highlighting shared values like democracy and religious freedom. It references historical ties dating to 1956 (including over 43,000 LDS missionaries serving in Taiwan) and current connections like $1 billion in annual trade and a driver license reciprocity agreement. The resolution encourages Utah's federal delegation to support Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations. As a non-binding statement, it does not create new laws or policies but affirms existing cultural, economic, and educational partnerships between Utah and Taiwan.
