The House Resolution from the State of Vermont reaffirms the longstanding friendship between Vermont and the Republic of China (Taiwan) as they celebrate the 27th anniversary of their sister-state relationship. It highlights the mutual benefits derived from this partnership, particularly in economic and cultural exchanges, and emphasizes the importance of the U.S.-Taiwan relationship, which is grounded in shared democratic values and a free market economy. The resolution notes significant trade statistics, including Vermont's exports to Taiwan and the potential for further economic collaboration through the establishment of a Vermont trade office in Taiwan.

Additionally, the resolution advocates for Taiwan's participation in international organizations, citing the benefits this would bring to both the U.S. and the global community. It references historical legislative frameworks, such as the Taiwan Relations Act, which supports Taiwan's involvement in international affairs. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the House to send copies to key political figures, including the President of the United States and the President of Taiwan, to underscore Vermont's commitment to enhancing bilateral relations and supporting Taiwan's international presence.
