STANDING WITH TAIWAN TO SUPPORT DEMOCRACY AND SECURITY.

Hawaii's Senate Resolution SR 80 expresses symbolic support for Taiwan's democratic development and security, endorsing Taiwan's observer status in key international organizations like the World Health Organization and International Civil Aviation Organization. It also supports advancing U.S.-Taiwan trade initiatives and urges U.S. officials to strengthen bilateral cooperation. The resolution is a non-binding statement sent to federal leaders, not a policy change affecting specific groups or laws. It reflects Hawaii's historical ties with Taiwan, including sister-state relations and economic partnerships.
