A Sister City Commission serves as a long-term partnership between two communities in

different countries. When the highest elected or appointed officials from both communities’ sign

an agreement, the relationship is officially recognized. These commissions promote cultural

exchange, strengthen economics, foster world peace, and enhance understanding of global

issues. Each sister city organization operates independently, engaging in activities such as

municipal, business, trade, educational, and cultural exchanges with their sister city. If you’re

interested in finding out more about your local sister cities or getting involved, feel free to

explore the resources provided by organizations like Sister Cities International.
