On 8 May, CLAIR attended the reception event for the newly formed Edogawa–Central Coast sister city relationship at Wamberal, on the Central Coast of NSW.
Edogawa City (one of the 23 wards of Tokyo Metropolis) established a Sister City Agreement with Gosford City in 1988. The two cities maintained friendly ties until Gosford and Wyong amalgamated to form the new Central Coast Council in 2016. Mr Masami Tada (Mayor of Edogawa City) visited the newly formed city council and established a new agreement with Central Coast.
The Gosford Sister City Committee and Society of Asian Pacific (Central Coast) hosted a reception to welcome him and he gave a speech as part of the proceedings. He also presented t-shirts emblazoned with the slogan, “I love Gosford”, and a movie and commemorative photo album filled with many fond memories of the sister-city relationship.
We look forward to hearing more great stories about this fantastic new chapter of the relationship!
