Mission and History: Sister Cities International
<h3 class="wiki">Sister Cities International was created at President Eisenhower’s 1956 White House conference on citizen diplomacy. Eisenhower envisioned an organization that could be the center spoke in the wheel of peace and prosperity by creating bonds between people from different cities around the world. By becoming friends, President Eisenhower reasoned that people of different cultures could celebrate their differences, instead of deriding them, fostering suspicion and sowing new seeds for war. </h3><h3 class="wiki">Sister Cities International creates relationships based on cultural educational, information and trade exchanges, creating lifelong friendship that provide prosperity and peace through person-to-person “citizen diplomacy.” Since then, President Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and now President Barack Obama have served as the Honorary Chairmen of Sister Cities International.
