Minnesota Senate President Jeremy Miller (R-Winona) is leading a 10-member, bipartisan, multi-state U.S. Midwest Political Leaders Delegation to Taiwan from July 21 – July 27. The trade mission will allow leaders to learn more about Taiwan and its economic and political significance to the United States.

 

In addition, attendees will explore potential opportunities to further cooperate with Taiwan on mutually beneficial investments and cultural exchanges. Taiwan was Minnesota’s fifth-largest export market in Asia in 2017 – more than $477 million worth of Minnesota goods were exported to Taiwan that year.

 

“Minnesota already has a wonderful partnership with Taiwan, but the world is changing rapidly, and new opportunities are constantly presenting themselves,” said Senator Miller. “I am excited to meet with Taiwanese leaders to figure out how our relationship can evolve so we both can take advantage of these new opportunities to benefit our citizens.”
