San Francisco and Shanghai have been sister cities for decades, and both cities just doubled down on that relationship. April of this year marked the 46th anniversary of the sister city relationship, and it's the longest standing sister city relationship between any cities in the US and China. And to mark the occasion, during a recent trip to Shanghai, Mayor Lurie entered into a memorandum of understanding to deepen economic, cultural, and institutional ties to Shanghai, all aimed at bolstering San Francisco's post-pandemic recovery. Over the years, there have been hundreds of collaborative projects between the two cities in the cultural sector, education, and sports, all designed to bolster international tourism, which is a huge pillar of San Francisco's economy. Let me know what you think of these efforts in the comments and follow me for more San Francisco news.
