RESOLUTION COMMEMORATING THE TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONNECTICUT-TAIWAN SISTER-STATE RELATIONSHIP.

This House Joint Resolution (HJ 34) is a ceremonial statement commemorating the 27th anniversary of Connecticut's sister-state relationship with Taiwan (the Republic of China). It does not create new laws or policies; instead, it expresses legislative support for the existing economic, educational, and cultural ties between Connecticut and Taiwan, citing 2024 trade figures ($294 million exported to Taiwan) and shared democratic values. The resolution formally recognizes the anniversary and reiterates support for strengthening U.S.-Taiwan partnerships, but has no binding effect or direct impact on residents or businesses. It concludes by directing the resolution be sent to Taiwan's New York office.
