It was an honour for Sister Cities New Zealand and the wider sister city community to hold this important workshop at Government House Wellington on 9 April 2015.

Sir Jerry Mateparae, Patron to Sister Cities New Zealand, shared his insights on the importance of working together to achieve global connections, both inspiring and encouraging leaders all over New Zealand to collaborate and foster the sister city movement as one.

It was a memorable day for Mayors, CEOs, Councillors, Government officials, business and community leaders to share their personal stories and experiences, and discuss ideas around working together to build greater people-to-people connections between New Zealand and the world.

Sister Cities New Zealand, a non-profit organisation, has reached a significant milestone and is celebrating its 35th anniversary next year. Those involved and interested in sister city work are welcome to attend our annual conference, which will be hosted by Nelson City Council in May 2016.

Thank you to all those who contributed and participated in the Workshop at Government House and our 2015 SCNZ Conference, we look forward to carrying the momentous passion and energy gathered from our sister city family into the future of Sister Cities New Zealand.
