At the heart of all sister city agreements is a commitment to mutual advancement of culture, education and economic development. These city-to-city agreements translate into long-term relationships that offer a world of opportunity for the citizen of the cities.

Calgary's six sister cities offer an excellent opportunity to connect Calgary businesses to businesses around the world. Each sister city is supported by an active committee of volunteers who are committed to the development of initiatives that strengthen the relationships. Calgary's sister cities are:

• Daejeon, South Korea
• Daqing, China
• Jaipur, India
• Naucalpan, Mexico
• Quebec City, Canada
• Phoenix, USA

In addition, Calgary has a bilateral agreement with the City of Houston, focusing on developing business linkages in the energy, engineering, aerospace, life sciences, culture, and arts sectors.
