BACKGROUND ____________________________________________________________________
The Richmond City Council Sister Cities Commission, established in 1980, manages the Richmond Sister City Program. The Commission operates under guidelines provided by Council and by requirements of the Sister Cities International organization, located in Washington, D. C. An early champion of international relations, Richmond began its first relationship with its namesake, Richmond Upon Thames, England, in 1930.
Overview of Sister City Program
A formal Sister City concept was created by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. His 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.
For example, cities linked with Richmond are generally capital cities with comparable populations, notable points of historic interest, and potential opportunities for economic development and trade.
Globally, there are more than 2,400 Sister City partnerships in 134 countries. Nineteen Virginia cities represent approximately 50 of those partnerships. This includes seven in Richmond.
Richmond Sister City Relationships
As of May 17, 2010 Richmond maintains the following Sister City relationships:
1. Richmond upon Thames, England
2. Saitama City, Japan
3. Olysztyn, Poland
4. Uijeongbu, Korea
5. Windhoek, Namibia (Africa)
6. Zhengzhou, China
7. Segou, Republic of Mali (Africa)
Interest
Throughout the year, Richmond City Council receives requests from citizens and interested cities regarding its Sister Cities Program, which are shared with the Commission.
Recent Sister Cities Activities
Republic of Mali: Richmond added Segou, Republic of Mali as a Sister City in 2009 and received a visiting delegation from the City of Segou on October 12, 2009.
Richmond upon Thames: 2008 visit from the Mayor and Councilmember's to Richmond; 2007 visit of Mayor and Council members. Planning for Virginia’s 2007 celebration.
Zhenghou, China: Continued supporting teacher exchanges of art and culture through museums, economic trips to China (conducted by Governor of Virginia with representation from Richmond). A book collection was presented to Richmond citizens from Zhengzhou citizens, which is displayed at the City’s Main Library.
Saitama, Japan: Annual baseball exchange between communities. The exchange features 30 10-12 year olds and their families who spend several days in Richmond visiting sites, playing baseball, and developing friendships and cultural understanding.
Windhoek, Namibia: August 2007: the U.S. State Department brought a camera crew to Richmond from Windhoek coordinated events. July 2003: Richmond donated a Fire Truck to Windhoek.
