The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6450, aims to establish a Connecticut-Taiwan Trade Commission. This commission is intended to enhance bilateral trade and investment between Connecticut and Taiwan, facilitate joint policy initiatives, and promote business and academic exchanges. Additionally, it seeks to foster mutual economic support and investment in infrastructure between the two regions, as well as address other related matters as determined by the commission.
The bill introduces new legal language to amend the general statutes, specifically outlining the commission's objectives, which include advancing trade, initiating joint actions on policy issues, and encouraging collaboration in various sectors. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill. The establishment of this commission reflects a strategic effort to strengthen economic ties and cooperation between Connecticut and Taiwan.
