ENDORSING TAIWAN'S INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION, SUPPORTING THE SIGNING OF A UNITED STATES-TAIWAN BILATERAL TRADE AGREEMENT, AND COMMEMORATING THE RELATIONSHIPS AND EXCHANGES BETWEEN THE STATE OF HAWAII AND TAIWAN.

This Hawaii House Resolution (HR 115) expresses the state's support for Taiwan's participation in key international organizations like the World Health Organization and International Civil Aviation Organization, and encourages the U.S. to negotiate a bilateral trade agreement with Taiwan. It also commemorates Hawaii's 32-year sister-state relationship with Taiwan, highlighting shared cooperation in areas like tourism, education, and disaster aid (notably Taiwan's $500,000 contribution after the 2023 Maui wildfires). As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect but formally endorses these positions. The resolution was offered by Hawaii's House of Representatives in 2025.
