The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 139, introduced by a bipartisan group of Wisconsin legislators, reaffirms the state's commitment to strengthening its sister-state relationship with Taiwan, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026. The resolution highlights the shared values of freedom, democracy, and human rights between Wisconsin and Taiwan, as well as the significant economic ties, with Taiwan being a major trading partner for both Wisconsin and the United States. It emphasizes the importance of supporting Wisconsin businesses in their engagement with Taiwan and advocates for the signing of a Bilateral Trade Agreement between Taiwan and the U.S. to enhance trade and investment opportunities.

Additionally, the resolution encourages Wisconsin state agencies to explore establishing a representative office in Taiwan to further promote economic cooperation, educational exchanges, and cultural ties. It recognizes the historical significance of 2026, marking both the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 30th anniversary of Taiwan's first direct presidential election, underscoring the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. The resolution concludes by directing the chief clerk of the assembly to transmit copies to relevant parties, including Wisconsin's congressional delegation and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Chicago.
