A RESOLUTION commending Taiwan for its deepening relations with the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

This resolution (SR 85) is a symbolic gesture by Kentucky's Senate commending Taiwan for its economic and diplomatic ties with the United States and Kentucky. It highlights Taiwan's role as Kentucky's third-largest import source ($7.9 billion in 2024) and 20th-largest export market ($328 million), notes Foxconn's $173 million Louisville investment, and references Taiwan's trade partnership with the U.S. under the 21st-Century Trade Initiative. The resolution encourages Kentucky officials to deepen economic and educational collaboration with Taiwan, including using the TOCFL language assessment for biliteracy recognition. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no legal effect but formally expresses support for existing U.S.-Taiwan relations.
