SCA Annual General Meeting

Posted on by admin

On Tuesday 16 October, the 2018 Sister Cities Australia (SCA) Annual General Meeting was held at the Stanhope Leisure Centre in Blacktown, NSW. Three members (including Director Akaiwa) of CLAIR Sydney attended this event and gave a presentation about Japan’s Sister City activities with Australian local governments and other partners worldwide, and one of the potential future concepts of Sister City relationships in the world.
We are thankful for this opportunity to exchange information with councils that have a sister city relationship with a Japanese local government, and discuss their future sister city exchange schedule and activities plan. We also gained a lot of valuable knowledge, and we look forward to applying this as we continue to support sister city exchanges in collaboration with sister city associations and councils.

    The Nagoya City official who came to Australia to participate in the Australian Multiculturalism Study Tour hosted by CLAIR Sydney, paid a visit to Sydney City Town Hall on Friday 24 November, and we assisted his visit. In addition to sharing information on the status of exchanges between the two cities’ sister zoos (Taronga Zoo and Higashiyama Zoo) and international exchanges in Nagoya City, a preliminary meeting was held for Deputy Mayor Matsuo’s visit to Sydney for December 2023.
     
    With the landmark year only two years away, CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the exchanges between the two cities.
