Oklahoma Legislature Reinforces 45-Year-Old Sister-State Bond with Taiwanese Delegation at State Capitol

In a show of economic and cultural camaraderie, the Oklahoma Legislature has extended a warm welcome to a Taiwanese delegation at the State Capitol. The meeting, highlighted by the presence of Director-General Yvonne Hsiao and Consul Michelle Lu from the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Houston, underscored a 45-year-old sister-state relationship that has stood the test of time and geopolitics.

During their visit, the Taiwan delegation was introduced by Rep. Daniel Pae, who represents Lawton in the state's legislature. Pae, in a statement that resonated with both economic optimism and a sense of democratic solidarity, noted, "Taiwan has long been a trusted friend and partner to Oklahoma," as reported by the Oklahoma House of Representatives. The relationship, spanning nearly half a century, is not just a testament to mutual growth and prosperity, but also to the shared values that underpin such international friendships. Just last year, Oklahoma exported northward of $46 million worth of goods to Taiwan, illustrating the tangible benefits of their partnership.
