Embarking on his first official visit to the Hawaii archipelago, islands’ extraordinary natural beauty and rich cultural tapestry provided a singular and vital backdrop for Consul General Massimo Carnelos’s consular mission, framing the visit as both an occasion of admiration and a significant advance in fostering Italy’s relationship with one of the Pacific’s most dynamic and strategically vital regions.
During his stay, the Consul General was honored to meet with Governor Josh Green and the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, Rick Blangiardi. Their discussions underscored a shared commitment to deepening cooperation in key sectors such as renewable energy and sustainable agriculture—areas in which both Italy and Hawaii have developed valuable expertise and forward-looking strategies.
