The City Council approved a resolution at Monday’s City Council meeting supporting the pursuit of establishing a Friendship City Agreement with New Taipei City, Taiwan in advance of a joint visit set to take place in Taiwan next week. The effort seeks to promote friendship and mutual benefit. It is the second city in Taiwan of which Richardson is seeking a friendship agreement; last week the Council approved a similar resolution regarding Keelung City, Taiwan.
A Friendship City agreement would involve collaboration between the two cities in exploring educational, cultural, arts and economic opportunities, which could include networking and conferences to promote business partnership and economic opportunities, and youth exchange events.
