Taiwan Interpol Endorsement and Inclusion Act

This bill directs the Secretary of State to develop a strategy to obtain membership for Taiwan in Interpol, the international police organization, and to involve Taiwan in Interpol meetings and information sharing. It requires the Secretary to instruct the U.S. office that works with Interpol (Interpol Washington) to formally request membership for Taiwan and urge other member countries to support it. It states that U.S. policy should be to advocate for Taiwan's membership or observer status in international organizations, including in talks with China. Within 90 days, the Secretary of State must report to Congress on this strategy, and Interpol Washington must report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on threats to Taiwan's criminal intelligence caused by its lack of Interpol access.
