HCR 3030 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A concurrent resolution to strengthen the sister-state relations between the State of North Dakota and Taiwan and to reaffirm support for Taiwan's international participation.

HCR 3030 is a symbolic resolution passed by North Dakota's legislature to strengthen its longstanding sister-state relationship with Taiwan, which began in 1986. It formally recognizes North Dakota's trade ties, academic exchanges, and shared values with Taiwan, while advocating for Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations like the WHO, UN climate talks, and the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. The resolution does not create new laws or policy changes but expresses legislative support for Taiwan's international engagement and encourages U.S. efforts like the U.S.-Taiwan tax agreement. It directs the Secretary of State to share copies with U.S. officials, Taiwan's representative office, and international bodies. This is a procedural statement, not a binding policy action.
