ENDORSING TAIWAN'S INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION, SUPPORTING THE SIGNING OF A UNITED STATES-TAIWAN AGREEMENT ON AVOIDANCE OF DOUBLE TAXATION, AND COMMEMORATING THE SISTER-STATE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STATE AND TAIWAN.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution from Hawaii endorses Taiwan's participation in international organizations, supports a proposed tax agreement between the United States and Taiwan, and commemorates their sister-state relationship. The bill expresses support for Taiwan's observer status in the International Civil Aviation Organization, International Criminal Police Organization, and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, while encouraging negotiations for a double taxation avoidance agreement. It also recognizes the existing sister-state partnership established in 1993 and highlights ongoing cooperation in trade, education, tourism, and disaster management between Hawaii and Taiwan. The resolution is non-binding and serves to align Hawaii's position with federal policy while celebrating bilateral ties.
