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 in Delray Beach, which has evolved into the Morikami Museum and Japanese Garden. It notes Japan's status as Florida's second-largest source of imports and a major investor in the state's economy, as well as its position as the largest source of foreign investment in the United States.

The resolution also references recent high-profile trade missions led by Florida officials, including Governor Ron DeSantis and Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, which have reinforced diplomatic and economic dialogues. Key agreements, such as the Memorandum of Cooperation signed in October 2023 and the Sister Port Agreement between the Port of Miami and the Port of Yokohama, further solidify the economic and maritime connections between Florida and Japan. Overall, the resolution underscores the importance of continued collaboration and the long-term benefits that such partnerships can bring to both regions.
