City of Melbourne - International relations - Osaka - 0 views
-
The sister city relationship with Osaka was the first that Melbourne established.
-
A strong and beneficial sister port relationship already existed (established in 1974) between the Port of Osaka and the Port of Melbourne.
-
However, the sister city relationship was not formally established until 24 April 1978 at a ceremony in Osaka attended by the Lord Mayor. The stated aim at the time was to establish 'a people-to-people relationship with the aim of developing mutual friendships and a lasting and understanding relationship'.

It's not an official or new article but I actually just found out about this and thought this is pretty cool. They even have a logo of Melbourne and Osaka Sister Cities.
