S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty—Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Culture, Arts & International Affairs, to
which was referred S.C.R. No. 175, S.D. 1, entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING THE STATE TO BUILD
A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS AND
COLLABORATE ON SIMILAR, SHARED CHALLENGES AND GOALS,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to encourage the State to
build a partnership with the Kingdom of the Netherlands and
collaborate on similar, shared challenges and goals.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Business, Economic Development, & Tourism.
Your Committee finds that the Netherlands is a northwestern
European country notable for its economic, cultural, and
ecological contributions to world history. The Netherlands serve
as a model for the State in promoting local farms by its
innovative and productive agricultural practices, as well as
pioneering transportation solutions that have reduced costs,
curbed emissions, and improved safety. Your Committee therefore
finds that this measure encourages the creation of a partnership
with the Netherlands to provide a foundation for cross-cultural
exchange, opportunities to learn, and collaborative partnerships.
