What is a Sister City?
A sister city relationship is a long-term partnership between two communities in different countries, officially recognized when local leaders sign an agreement. These partnerships often involve collaboration among city governments, nonprofits, businesses, and civic groups.
At the World Affairs Council, we administer Sister Cities on behalf of the city government, focusing on Leadership, Sports & Culture, and Education initiatives through our Sister Cities Committee.
Sister cities promote peace and global understanding by creating cultural exchanges, educational opportunities, professional connections, and economic benefits — strengthening both local communities and international relationships.
