Commending the Holy See for its enduring diplomatic relationship with Taiwan and affirming the support of Congress for the continued preservation of the Vatican-Taiwan diplomatic relationship.

Preserving the Vatican-Taiwan diplomatic relationship is the resolution's central aim, with Congress affirming support for continued ties between the Holy See and Taiwan. It notes the Holy See has maintained relations with Taiwan since 1942 and remains Taiwan's only official European ally, cites a 2018 Vatican agreement with the People's Republic of China that Beijing breached by appointing two bishops without Vatican approval, highlights Taiwan's religious freedom efforts including appointing Pusin Tali as Ambassador at Large and contributing $1.0 million to the International Religious Freedom Fund from 2019 to 2024, records Taiwan hosting major religious freedom summits in 2019 and 2023 and joining the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance as an observer in 2022, cites Taiwan's Freedom House score of 94 compared with the People's Republic of China's 9, and encourages expanded engagement and more high-level visits by Holy See clergy to Taiwan to strengthen spiritual ties.
