Our tears mingled may create a washed space where we will stand together in forgiveness and peace.

Sister Cities

Sister Cities link New Zealand cities, towns, districts and ports with overseas counterparts in order to develop closer social, cultural, economic, sporting and political relationships.

Sister-Cities relationships aim to increase global co-operation at a local level, promote cultural understanding, stimulate economic development and foster a citizens' network of organisations and individuals devoted to creating and strengthening partnerships between New Zealand and international communities.
The Sister Cities concept is unique: It is two-way; the give and take is shared by both sides; it provides for planned and continuous contact between the cities involved and their citizens; it brings together both municipalities' volunteer resources at the local level; it offers a mechanism at the community level for anyone or organisation to become involved in international relations.
There are approximately 140 sister city relationships between New Zealand and overseas communities.
