Our Sister Cities
Akitakata-shi, Hiroshima, Japan
An agreement was signed on 9 September 1992 between Takamiya Town Hiroshima Ken and the Selwyn District Council.
Takamiya has since amalgamated with five other surrounding areas to form Akitakita-shi which has agreed to continue the Sister City relationship.
Our objectives through the exchange of education, cultural and industry knowledge are:
-
The promotion of understanding through friendship between both Districts.
-
The enhancement of friendship between New Zealand and Japan
-
As a contribution towards world peace and prosperity.
