Bernameya Bajarên Bira yên yekem, Sister Cities International, di sala 1956an de li ser daxwaza Serok Eisenhower hate afirandin, û bal kişand ser têkiliyên neteweyî yên di navbera bajarên li Dewletên Yekbûyî û welatên din de. Armanca bernameyê ew e ku têgihîştina çandî ya kûrtir, serdanên navneteweyî û mêvanperweriyê pêş bixe ku dibe sedema têkiliyên demdirêj. Di demên dawî de, girêdanên Bajarên Xwişk bûne rêgezek girîngtir ji bo têkiliyên mirovan bi mirovan û dîplomasiya navneteweyî.

Those interested in establishing a new Friendship or Sister City should connect with the Tacoma Sister Cities Council to determine the viability of a Friendship City designation and go through the formal process of establishing the relationship. A friendship city designation should be established first before moving to a Sister City designation. Provisional Friendship Cities are cities established by Tacoma Sister Cities Council, or the Mayor’s Office that have not been confirmed by the City Council. The Mayor’s Office is happy to help facilitate communications and give insight into the process for those interested.
Types of International City Partnerships
Bajarên Xwişk
Sister Cities are Tacoma’s most formal international partnerships. These official city-to-city relationships are approved and supported by both local governments and are designed to promote long-term cultural, educational, and economic exchange. Tacoma limits Sister City partnerships to one city per country. These partnerships receive the highest level of City support, including consideration for hosting delegations, participating in trade and cultural exchanges, and developing ongoing collaborative programs.
Bajarên Dostaniyê
Friendship Cities are less formal partnerships that help build relationships between Tacoma and international communities. They often serve as a first step toward a deeper partnership. Friendship City relationships allow residents, community organizations, and City leaders to connect and collaborate, but they typically involve a lower level of formal City support than Sister Cities.
Provisional Friendship Cities
Provisional Friendship Cities are emerging relationships that have not yet been formally approved by the City Council. These partnerships may be initiated by Tacoma Sister Cities members with board support or through a memorandum of understanding signed by the Mayor. Support for these relationships is generally more limited and is often led by community leaders or the Mayor’s Office rather than through full City programs.
