House Resolution HR 8093 acknowledges the significant and growing relationship between the State of Florida and Japan, emphasizing the mutual benefits derived from their political, economic, and cultural ties. The resolution highlights the historical connections that date back to the early 20th century, particularly the establishment of the Yamato Colony by Japanese immigrants in Delray Beach, which is now home to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Garden. It notes that Japan is Florida's second-largest source of imports and a major investor in the state's economy, as well as the largest source of foreign investment in the United States.

The resolution also outlines recent efforts to strengthen these ties, including trade missions led by Governor Ron DeSantis and Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, which resulted in significant agreements such as a Memorandum of Cooperation and a Sister Port Agreement between the Port of Miami and the Port of Yokohama. These developments underscore the momentum in Florida-Japan relations and the commitment of the Florida Legislature to foster ongoing collaboration that will yield long-term benefits for both regions.
