Welcome to Honolulu.
Honolulu, the quintessential Asian American city, is an inspiring location to gather leaders from across the Asia Pacific for hibiscus summit 2025.
With direct flights from cities including Tokyo, Seoul, Manila, Sydney, Auckland, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, Honolulu is uniquely positioned geographically and culturally to bring together Asia, the Pacific and the US.
Honolulu’s global leadership in sustainability, renewable energy and climate resilience offers a compelling setting for dialogues on “Building Vibrant Cities and Communities.”
“The opportunity that Hawaiʻi offered — to experience a variety of cultures in a climate of mutual respect — became an integral part of my world view, and a basis for the values that I hold most dear.”
– President Obama, the Punahou Bulletin, 1999
“There is no region in the world that we consider more vital than the Asia Pacific region.”
-President Obama, APEC 2011, Honolulu
