Delegation from Jiaxing Visits Rockville

The Rockville Mayor and Council welcomed a delegation of visitors from Rockville’s Friendship City, Jiaxing, China, earlier this month. Rockville Sister City Corporation hosted the Jiaxing Municipal People’s Government throughout visits to Rockville and D.C., where the delegation met with officials to learn about improving commerce- and cultural-related initiatives and toured Washington landmarks, including the Capitol, Jefferson Memorial and the Kennedy Center.

The delegation presented the Mayor and Council with gifts and were formally recognized by the Mayor and Council at their Monday, Jan. 9 meeting.

Rockville entered into a friendly relations agreement with Jiaxing in 2009 to foster a future Sister City relationship. Rockville Sister City Corporation celebrates its 60th anniversary with Pinneberg, Germany, this year and, in 2019, its 10th anniversary with Jiaxing, China.
