Milwaukee's Sister Cities Initiative
|
|
|
Milwaukee has officially affiliated with Sister Cities International, a program with over fifty years of promoting people-to-people diplomacy. As a result, our city-to-city relationships, including former friendship cities and unofficial sister cities, are now moving forward.
Manisa, Turkey and uMhlathuze, South Africa, our most recent Sister Cities, join the ranks of three other Sister Cities relationships Milwaukee is fostering. There may be many more to come as residents of the city, local officials and business people come to recognize the benefits of people-to-people diplomacy in an age of contested borders.
