WHAT IS THE HOUSTON - TAMPICO SISTER CITY PROGRAM? Founded in 2003 as a result of strong oil and shipping industries in Houston and in Tampico, the organization has since been actively engaged in promotion, health and goodwill. During Tampico’s visit to Houston in April 2003, a delegation participated in the International Festival. In April 2003, the mayors of Houston and Tampico formally signed a document establishing a reciprocal relationship to promote business, education and culture. Later on, an enthusiastic group of leaders organized a non-profit organization called the “Houston-Tampico Sister City Association, Inc.” (HTSCAI). The Sister City Program was established by President Eisenhower to improve communications, cultural and business relations between the people of the United States and the rest of the world community. Said lke, “Sister City relationships can turn nations into people and contribute as no other form of communications to the humanizing of international relations.” For more info visit: www.sister-cities.org A 501(C)3 non-profit organization Affiliated with Sister Cities International
