PROCLAMATIONS
SUMMARY
The Taiwan Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles submitted a request to the
Rosemead City Council to issue a proclamation for October 10, 2025, known as National Day of
the Republic of China (Taiwan), as part of the commemoration of the founding of the Republic
of China (Taiwan) on October 10, 1911, the first democratic republic in Asia.
The Republic of China is the first democratic nation in Asia since 1912 and continues to
champion freedom and democracy in Asia. It represents the resilience, determination, and spirit
of the Taiwanese people in their pursuit of freedom, democracy, and prosperity.
DISCUSSION
Proclamations are ceremonial documents to honor an individual or organization, celebrate or
create awareness or commemorate a particular day, month, or year. Proclamations are designated
by a specific event and date; therefore, to simplify the process, City staff compiled a list of
routine proclamations that have been presented in the past. On June 14, 2021, the City Council
approved the new procedure to issue any future proclamations:
Proclamations on the list of Approved Proclamations will be automatically agendized
under Presentations without City Council discussion.
New proclamation requests not listed on the approved list of proclamations will be
agendized for discussion and City Council direction. If approved, the new proclamation
will be agendized and presented at the next City Council meeting and added to the
approved list of proclamations.
