At an event held on Monday, Jan. 12, Lalitpur Metropolitan City (Nepal) and the Broomfield Sister Cities organization, in conjunction with the City and County of Broomfield, celebrated the signing of a formal recognition to be Sister Cities.
The Sister City Program, administered by Sister Cities International, was initiated in 1956 to encourage greater friendship and understanding between the United States and other nations through direct personal contact.
In order to foster those goals, the people of Broomfield and the city of Lalitpur, Nepal, in a gesture of friendship and goodwill, agreed to collaborate for the mutual benefit of their communities by exploring educational, economic and cultural opportunities.
Broomfield welcomed the Lalitpur delegation of Mayor Chiri Babu Maharjan and Ward Chairman Ganesh KC for the signing ceremony and tours of Broomfield facilities.
Lalitpur joins Ueda, Japan and the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes as Broomfield Sister Cities. For more information, visit the Broomfield Sister Cities Organization website.
