#友台決議 #加州 #美國建國250週年 #台灣 #總統直選30週年 #民主里程碑 #台美友好

恭賀㊗️🎉🎉
加州參議會連續三年通過友台決議案，肯定台灣總統直選30週年與美國建國250週年雙重民主里程碑

加州參議會於本（6）月18日通過由參議會地方委員會副主席崔錫浩（Steven Choi）與收入及稅收委員會主席Jerry McNerney共同提出（co-author）的友台決議案，讚揚今年為台灣總統直選30週年，以及美國建國250週年，展現台灣對民主價值的韌性與堅定承諾，肯定台灣民主對亞太地區的和平與繁榮至關重要。這是加州州議會繼2024及2025年後，連續第三年通過友台決議案。

決議文首先紀念台灣與加州締結姊妹州42週年及台裔美人傳統周26週年，讚揚雙方在經貿、科技、教育、觀光與文化領域緊密的友好情誼，亦肯定台裔美國人社群堅定支持民主、人權及法治，展現非凡韌性及對民主價值的承諾，啟發無數來自加州及全球各地的人們。

該決議文內容指出，台灣是加州第三大貿易夥伴，也是加州第二大出口市場與第三大進口市場，參議會由此肯定台灣社群長年對加州經濟成長與發展具有重大且不可磨滅的貢獻。此外，決議案指出台灣具能力及意願貢獻國際社會，盼有意義參與聯合國、世界衛生組織、國際民航組織、國際刑警組織及聯合國氣候變化綱要公約等國際組織。州參議會將支持台灣透過適當方式貢獻國際社會，並促請加州政府開展與台灣在更多層面的合作。

有別於前兩年，本次決議文內容特別提到，今年為台灣總統直選30週年，也是美國建國250週年，是個值得慶賀的民主里程碑雙重慶典；州參議會也瞭解，本年是台灣關係法通過第47週年，該法協助維護西太平洋地區的和平、安全與穩定，促進台灣與美國人民在商業、文化與其他關係的持續深化，肯定台灣的民主對亞太地區的和平與繁榮至關重要。

我國於去年邀請多位加州州參議員訪問台灣，團員均對台、加兩地經貿關係密切，以及台灣社會建設、自然美景及濃厚人情留下深刻印象。加州參議會連續三年通過友台決議，本年特別在決議文內祝賀台灣通過總統直選30週年的重要意義，並肯定台、加州及台美共享自由民主價值的重要夥伴關係，對雙方未來進一步強化於各領域的交流具正面意義。

The California State Senate adopted a Taiwan-friendly resolution co-authored by Senator Steven Choi, Vice Chair of the Senate Local Government Committee, and Senator Jerry McNerney, Chair of the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee on June 18. The resolution commemorates the 30th anniversary of Taiwan’s first direct presidential election and the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, highlighting Taiwan’s resilience and steadfast commitment to democratic values. It also recognizes that Taiwan’s democracy is vital to peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. This marks the third consecutive year, following 2024 and 2025, that the California Legislature has passed a resolution in support of Taiwan.

The resolution first commemorates the 42nd anniversary of the sister-state relationship between Taiwan and California and the 26th anniversary of Taiwanese American Heritage Week. It praises the close friendship and cooperation between Taiwan and California across trade, technology, education, tourism, and cultural exchanges. The resolution also recognizes the Taiwanese American community’s steadfast support for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, as well as its remarkable resilience and commitment to democratic values, which continue to inspire people throughout California and around the world.

The resolution further notes that Taiwan is California’s third-largest trading partner, second-largest export market, and third-largest source of imports. In light of these strong economic ties, the Senate acknowledges the Taiwanese community’s longstanding and invaluable contributions to California’s economic growth and development. In addition, the resolution recognizes Taiwan’s ability and willingness to contribute to the international community and expresses support for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in international organizations, including the United Nations, World Health Organization, International Civil Aviation Organization, INTERPOL, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The California State Senate expressed its support for Taiwan’s contributions to the international community through appropriate means and encouraged the California state government to expand cooperation with Taiwan across a broader range of areas.

Unlike the resolutions adopted in the previous two years, this year’s resolution specifically highlights the significance of 2026 as both the 30th anniversary of Taiwan’s first direct presidential election and the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, describing the year as a dual celebration of major democratic milestones. The Senate also noted that 2026 marks the 47th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act, which has helped maintain peace, security, and stability in the Western Pacific while fostering deeper commercial, cultural, and other ties between the peoples of Taiwan and the United States. The resolution concludes by affirming that Taiwan’s democracy is essential to maintaining peace and prosperity throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
