Bill Summary
RESOLUTION urging THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU, THE COUNTY OF MAUI, THE COUNTY OF HAWAII, AND THE COUNTY OF KAUAI TO ESTABLISH SISTER CITY RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER PACIFIC ISLAND MUNICIPALITIES.
AI Summary
This resolution urges the four main counties of Hawaii (Honolulu, Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai) to establish new Sister City relationships with other Pacific Island municipalities, building on the success of the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture (FestPAC) hosted in Hawaii in June 2024. The resolution highlights the shared histories, traditions, and cultures of Pacific Island communities and emphasizes the benefits of Sister City programs, which encourage exchanges in arts, culture, youth education, business, trade, and community development. Currently, Hawaii counties have Sister City relationships with 89 cities worldwide, including 30 in the Pacific region. By expanding these relationships, the resolution aims to strengthen regional ties and foster a deeper mutual understanding and appreciation between Hawaii and other Pacific Island communities. The resolution will be transmitted to the Executive Director of the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and the mayors of the four counties.
