What is a Sister City?
When a community of any size decides to join with a community in another nation to learn more about one another, and to develop friendly meaningful exchanges, the two communities propose a formal affiliation leading to official designation as "Sister Cities."
Sister Cities Mission
Tulsa Global Alliance strives to build global cooperation at the municipal level, promote cultural understanding and stimulate economic development.
