URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU, THE COUNTY OF MAUI, THE COUNTY OF HAWAII, AND THE COUNTY OF KAUAI TO ESTABLISH SISTER CITY RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER PACIFIC ISLAND MUNICIPALITIES.

HR 156 is a non-binding House Resolution urging the City and County of Honolulu, County of Maui, County of Hawaii, and County of Kauai to establish new sister city relationships with Pacific Island municipalities. It cites the 2024 Festival of Pacific Arts as inspiration, noting existing sister city ties (30 in the Pacific region) and emphasizing cultural, educational, and business exchanges. The resolution has no legal force but recommends these counties expand partnerships to strengthen regional ties and mutual cultural appreciation. It does not create new obligations or funding.
