Sister Cities
Melbourne has seven sister cities around the world.
The Sister Cities programme aims to promote Melbourne’s international profile, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, supporting exchanges in business, tourism, education, culture and sport and promoting tolerance, understanding and friendship.
The cities are Osaka in Japan (our first, back in 1978); Tianjin in the People's Republic of China; Thessaloniki in Greece; Boston in the USA; Saint Petersburg in Russia; Milan in Italy and Galle, Sri Lanka (after the 2004 tsunami disaster Melbourne adopted Galle in order to fund the reconstruction of its cricket ground).
