The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Calatayud, acknowledges the significant and growing political and economic relationship between the State of Florida and Japan. It highlights the historical ties that date back to the early 20th century, particularly the establishment of the Yamato Colony in Delray Beach, which has evolved into the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. The resolution notes that while Florida has experienced fluctuations in its economic relations with Japan, the current trend shows a resurgence of Japanese corporate and financial interests, making Japan Florida's second-largest source of imports and a key investor in the state's economy.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes recent diplomatic efforts to strengthen ties, including trade missions led by Governor Ron DeSantis and Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, which resulted in significant agreements aimed at enhancing economic collaboration. The Florida Legislature expresses its commitment to fostering political, economic, and cultural connections with Japan, recognizing the potential for further growth and mutual benefits in these areas.
