Mrs. KIM. Mr. Speaker, today marks 46 years since the Taiwan Relations Act became law.

This landmark bill has strengthened the partnership with Taiwan and shaped America's foreign policy in the Indo-Pacific region.

I will recognize that Taiwan is a trusted leader in freedom, democracy, and trade, and is also a needed partner in security against shared threats.

As chairwoman of the East Asia and Pacific Subcommittee, I have worked on bipartisan bills to give Taiwan a rightful seat at the table in international organizations, such as WHO and IMF. I led the charge to track and ensure efficient delivery of weapons that Taiwan has purchased from the United States.

This year, I introduced a bipartisan, bicameral bill to enhance U.S.- Taiwan economic and trade ties. Our partnership with Taiwan is more important than ever.
