Christchurch's
Sister Cities
Christchurch has six sister city partnerships fostering
cultural, educational, business, tourism, friendship, and sporting
links.
The idea of pairing up cities in different countries began as a
way of promoting greater understanding between nations after the
Second World War. The hope was that Sister City relationships
would help people from different countries understand each other
better.
