Commemorates 45th anniversary of enactment of Taiwan Relations Act and 35th anniversary of New Jersey-Taiwan sister state relationship.
This resolution commemorates the 45th anniversary of the U.S. Taiwan Relations Act (passed in 1979) and the 35th anniversary of New Jersey’s sister-state relationship with Taiwan. It symbolically recognizes the longstanding diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties between New Jersey and Taiwan, including $723 million in annual trade and over 200 Taiwanese companies operating in New Jersey. The resolution has no binding effect - it is purely ceremonial, expressing support through formal acknowledgment without creating new laws or policies. It does not alter U.S. or New Jersey government actions toward Taiwan.
