The Florida House of Representatives has passed a resolution expressing gratitude for the longstanding sister-state relationship and the economic and cultural ties between Florida and Taiwan. This relationship has been reinforced through various initiatives, including the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, which established a framework for ongoing commercial and cultural interactions. The resolution highlights Taiwan's significant contributions to Florida, particularly in the wake of natural disasters, such as the $300,000 donation to the Florida Disaster Fund following Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Additionally, it notes the successful collaboration in the high-tech sector, particularly in semiconductor industry cooperation, and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on Economic and Trade Cooperation in January 2025.

The resolution also acknowledges Taiwan's active participation in international organizations and its status as a key trading partner for both the United States and Florida. It emphasizes the mutual benefits derived from various collaborative efforts, including the FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 space mission and the United States-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade. The House of Representatives aims to present a copy of this resolution to Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te and the Executive Office of the Governor, symbolizing the appreciation for the enduring partnership between Florida and Taiwan.
