Resolution recommends sister-state tie between Hawaii, Fujian province
A resolution recommending the state initiate a sister- state relationship with China’s Fujian province was adopted Thursday by the state House.
Supporters of the resolution say it would strengthen existing ties, which have included trade, educational and cultural exchanges, and COVID-19 assistance.
“We have a sizable Fujianese community,” said state Rep. Adrian Tam (D, Waikiki), who introduced House Resolution 68. “The purpose of these sister-state relationships is to create closer ties between the two provinces for cultural exchanges and educational exchanges.”
