I was overwhelmed at the offer to <br /> support the mission of a beacon of hope and peace for Mauna Kea, and the <br /> understanding of the wrongs done to the Hawaiian people. <br /> I deeply apologize for being unable to avail myself of your gracious invitation. This is a <br /> very busy time as we work on our Budget; it would not be setting a good example if I <br /> were to leave the Island at this time. I do wish for a time when I will be able to visit your <br /> beautiful country and your people. <br /> I cannot say how grateful I would be if there were any possibility of your delegation <br /> coming to Hawai'i to talk to the people here about China, to promote world peace, to <br /> partner in making things better for the Hawaiian people, and to establish Mauna Kea as <br /> a beacon of hope. This would accomplish so much for the people of Hawai'i. <br /> Please know that the people of Hawai'i see China and its people as part of Hawai'i's <br /> history and heritage. We wish for a good relationship with China. <br /> Thank you again for your incredibly gracious offer of hospitality. I truly hope for a <br /> continued personal friendship with you and your delegation. <br /> Alo a <br /> HarryKim // <br /> MAYOR <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
