It is the sense of Congress that— the United States fully supports Taiwan’s participation in, and contribution to, international organizations and understands the importance of the relationship between Taiwan and the United States; diversifying the donor base of the Inter-American Development Bank (referred to in this title as the IDB ) and increasing ally engagement in the Western Hemisphere reinforces United States national interests; Taiwan’s significant contribution to the development and economies of Latin America and the Caribbean demonstrate that Taiwan’s membership in the IDB as a non-borrowing member would benefit the IDB and the entire Latin American and Caribbean region; and non-borrowing membership in the IDB would allow Taiwan to substantially leverage and channel the immense resources Taiwan already provides to Latin America and the Caribbean to reach a larger number of beneficiaries.
