MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Towards the Establishment of a Sister City Partnership
As PITTSBURGH and FERNANDO de la MORA recognize the need for intercity
cooperation in Economic Aff^rs, this Agreement is entered into with the understanding
that the economic links between the two cities will be strengthened.
To date, the promotion of friendship and international cooperation have been
the main issues in intercity exchange. These exchanges have typically been
represented by "Sister City" relationships. Accelerating intemationalization of the
world economy has required that the private sector in both Pittsburgh and Femando
de la Mora have had to respond in every aspect of its business including production,
distribution and others. This has resulted in the need for more concrete intemational
achievements, such as the establishment of mutually beneficial relationships.
With this Agreement, the administrations of Pittsburgh and Femando de la Mora
will establish a relationship based on mutual tnjst and closer cooperation. Specifically,
each dty will attempt to understand the business development trends and aspirations
of its "Sister City." Potential areas of initial cooperation will be identified; this
cooperation will not be limited to private companies, but will also include universities,
institutions, and other organizations.
(
From this point fonward, Pittsburgh and Femando de la Mora will be Sister
Cities. Our local govemments will survey regional companies about business needs
and will look for mutually t)enefidal opportunities to work closely together throughout
the years. The private sector of our cities will also look for opportunities of building
affiliations k>etween companies, exchange technical information and participation in
mutual trade fairs.
Our local govemments will be supportive of the business projects that emerge
as a result of this Agreement and we look forward to the maturation of private sector
relationships.
