Joint Resolution To Reaffirm The Friendship Between Maine And Taiwan, Enhance Bilateral Trade Relations With Taiwan And Support Taiwan'S International Participation

This symbolic resolution (SP 780) expresses Maine's support for strengthening ties with Taiwan. It requests three specific actions: signing a U.S.-Taiwan tax treaty, establishing driver's license reciprocity, and creating a higher education exchange agreement. The resolution cites Maine-Taiwan trade of $45.47 million in 2024 and supports Taiwan's participation in international organizations like the WHO. As a state-level resolution, it does not create binding policy but formally urges federal and local action on these issues.
