TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- US President Trump signed the Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act into law on Wednesday, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The legislation strengthens the implementation of the Taiwan Assurance Act of 2020 and requires the US Department of State to review its guidelines for interactions with Taiwan regularly, MOFA said. The State Department must review the guidelines at least once every five years, and submit a report to Congress within 90 days of the review's completion.

The House of Representatives passed the bill in May, and the Senate approved the bill last month.

The bill's passing demonstrates strong bipartisan support for deeper Taiwan-US ties in Congress, as well as within the US executive branch, MOFA said. Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) expressed gratitude for this act of support.

MOFA said it would continue to build on bilateral relations, guided by the principles of mutual trust, reciprocity, and mutual benefit. The ministry pledged to maintain close communication with Congress and the executive branch to advance the partnership across various fields.

Presidential Office Spokesperson Karen Kuo (郭雅慧) said the enactment of the Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act affirms the value of US-Taiwan interactions and supports an even closer bilateral relationship. It is also a meaningful and solid testament to the shared values of democracy, freedom, and human rights that underpin the Taiwan-US partnership, Kuo said.

"A strong and stable Taiwan-US relationship is an important cornerstone for maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific," she added. Taiwan will continue to work with the US and other like-minded countries in the region to maintain peace, prosperity, and stable development in the Indo-Pacific, Kuo said.
