The Secretary of State is authorized to conduct training programs, workshops, and other activities with the government of Taiwan pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Taiwan signed in 2015 on the Global Cooperation and Training Framework. It is the sense of Congress that Global Cooperation and Training Framework activities that promote ties between the United States, Taiwan, and other democratic partners, or that undergird Taiwan’s diplomatic relationships, or that counter malign authoritarian activities, are particularly beneficial to our shared interests, and that examples of such activities in 2019 include— the Good Energy Governance in the Indo-Pacific workshop, co-hosted by Japan and Australia; the International Austronesian Languages Revitalization Forum , co-hosted with Japan and held in Palau, a nation that maintains diplomatic relations with Taiwan; the Defending Democracy through Media Literacy II workshop, which focused on addressing and countering disinformation in democratic elections and was co-hosted by Japan and Sweden; and the Anti-Corruption in the Public and Private Sections workshop, which focused on promoting clean governance, preventing corporate governance, and preserving competitiveness through trade secret protection, and co-hosted by Japan.
There are authorized to be appropriated $3,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2023 through 2026 for the Global Cooperation and Training Framework.
