A resolution commending Taiwan on the 30th anniversary of its first direct presidential election in 1996, and expressing support for Taiwan in the preservation of its democratic institutions.

Support for Taiwan's democracy anchors this resolution. It commemorates the 30th anniversary of Taiwan's first direct presidential election and highlights Taiwan's move from martial law in 1987 to repeated free and fair elections, codified freedoms, a vibrant civil society, and peaceful transfers of power. The resolution declares five policy commitments: to honor that historic election, commend Taiwan's democratic resilience, call Taiwan a strategic democratic partner for the free world, commit to supporting Taiwan's self-defense and liberty, and reaffirm the Taiwan Relations Act, the Three Communiques, and the Six Assurances. It also states the resolution does not authorize the use of military force.
