To the website of the Atlanta - Rio de Janeiro Sister Cities Committee. Our mission is to foster a wider measure of friendship between the people of Atlanta and Rio de Janeiro. Our belief is that this goal is best achieved through the sponsorship of friendship and trade delegations, and educational, cultural and athletic exchanges. Therefore, the Committee’s mission and belief structure defines its role; cooperation, coordination and education.
The Sister Cities Program was launched in 1956 by President Eisenhower to further international understanding and friendship at all levels of the community on a continuing long term basis. Since its inception five decades ago, the Sister Cities Program has grown into the world’s largest international organization. In theme with Sister Cities International’s slogan, "Peace Through People", the City of Atlanta currently has forged sister city relationships with sixteen cities.
We believe that greater interaction between the two cities
will build on feelings of mutual goodwill.
