Spokane-Nishinomiya Sister City Society We were established in 1961. The complexity of global relationships today and the vital importance of US-Japan ties give such activity key importance.

Our mission is to promote goodwill between Spokane, Washington, and Nishinomiya, Japan, through friendship, mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation through cultural, educational, and economic activities and exchanges. The sister-city society was formed by local citizens in 1961 to promote exchanges with Nishinomiya to improve knowledge and understand of each other's culture and society. This link was forged after President Eisenhower had urged that Americans develop such people-to-people activity to help rebuild the world community weakened in war.

Thank you, Mayor Lisa Brown for meeting with our visiting students today! They had a wonderful time with you.
