A group of 21 representatives from TYler, Texas visited the Yachiyo City, Japan on a five-day schedule from October 28 to November 1, 2017.
Yachiyo and Tyler signed a sister city partnership in 1992, celebrating their 25th anniversary this year.
During this time, the citizen delegation visited each other’s cities ten times from Yachiyo and nine times from Tyler to deepen exchanges. In addition, exchanges are being held by the Community World Cup Soccer in Yachiyo and the Yachiyo Boys and Girls Choir.
For this acceptance, the Yachiyo International Association launched the Tyler City Goodwill Delegation Executive Committee, and preparations have been underway since October last year.
This time, as an exchange event that citizens can participate in, a welcome party, a Japanese culture experience at Fureai Plaza, and a goodbye party were held.
In addition, the 25th anniversary ceremony of the sister city partnership was widely announced in public relations and flyers, and the Yachiyo Boys and Girls Choir and Yachiyo High School drum group celebrated the long-standing exchange between the two cities.
