## Summary

**Taiwan's membership in Interpol** is the bill's central aim. This bill would direct the Secretary of State and the U.S. National Central Bureau (Interpol Washington) to build a strategy to obtain Taiwan's membership or observer status and to push for Taiwan's inclusion in Interpol meetings and information sharing. - Taiwan: Would be the target of U.S. efforts to gain membership or observer status so it can take part in Interpol meetings and access criminal intelligence sharing with Interpol channels. - U.S. diplomatic practice: Would make it U.S. policy to advocate for Taiwan's membership or observer status in international organizations where the United States participates and to instruct U.S. representatives to use their voice and vote to support Taiwan. - Reporting and oversight: Would require Interpol Washington to officially request Taiwan's status and would require two reports within 90 days of enactment — a State Department strategy report to Congress and a separate Interpol Washington report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on threats to Taiwan's criminal intelligence.
