STRENGTHEN RELATIONS WITH TAIWAN

This non-binding joint memorial (HJM 6) expresses New Mexico's legislative support for strengthening U.S.-Taiwan and New Mexico-Taiwan relations. It specifically advocates for Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations (like the WHO and UN climate talks), supports ongoing U.S.-Taiwan trade negotiations, and encourages educational exchanges between New Mexico and Taiwan. The resolution does not create new laws or obligations but formally endorses existing efforts, citing New Mexico's $62 million in exports to Taiwan and companies like Admiral Cable operating in the state. The memorial passed the New Mexico House but was postponed indefinitely in the Senate in June 2025.
