The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Calatayud, emphasizes the significance of the relationship between the State of Florida and Japan, highlighting the historical and economic ties that have developed over the years. It notes that the partnership has evolved since the early 20th century, particularly with the establishment of the Yamato Colony in Delray Beach, which is now home to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. Despite fluctuations in economic relations, Japan has become Florida's second-largest source of imports and a key investor in the state's economy, with recent trade missions and agreements indicating a renewed commitment to strengthening these ties.

The resolution acknowledges recent efforts by Florida officials, including Governor Ron DeSantis and Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, to enhance diplomatic and economic collaboration with Japan. Notable events include the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation and a Sister Port Agreement between the Port of Miami and the Port of Yokohama. These developments reflect a growing momentum in Florida-Japan relations, and the resolution calls for continued efforts to foster political, economic, and cultural connections, ensuring mutual benefits for both regions.
