Richmond City Council Sister Cities Commission: Overview

The Richmond City Council Sister Cities Commission was established by Richmond City Council in 1980. One of more than 50 boards, task forces, and commissions created to assist Richmond City Council with providing oversight of certain projects and priorities, the Richmond City Council Sister Cities Commission operates under Council guidelines as well as the requirements of the Sister Cities International organization, located in Washington, D.C.

     An early champion of international relations, Richmond began a relationship with its namesake, Richmond Upon Thames, England, in 1930. In 1956, a formal Sister City concept was established in the United States of America by U. S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. President Eisenhower's idea called for exchanges between Americans and people in other countries, with a goal of fostering peace, understanding, and harmony.

     The term "Sister City" is used to express a closeness that is engendered through commonalities between communities. Formal friendships are then established to promote cultural understanding and educational and economic prosperity. Cities linked with Richmond are generally capital cities with comparable populations, notable points of historic interest, and potential opportunities for economic development and trade.

Richmond Sister City Relationships

Richmond maintains the following Sister City relationships:

·   Richmond upon Thames, England (Europe); Est. 1938

·   Saitama City, Japan (Asia); Est. 1993

·   Zhengzhou, China (Asia); Est. 1994

·   Windhoek, Namibia (Africa); Est. 1998

·   Segou, Republic of Mali (Africa); Est. 2009
