Have you ever wondered how cities across the world can be friends? 🌍🤝 Well, that’s exactly what happens when two cities become sister cities!
Long Beach, a sunny port city in California, and Qingdao, a beautiful seaside city in the Chinese mainland, are sister cities. This means they have a special friendship that helps them share ideas, culture, and even support each other during tough times.
Right now, when things are a bit tricky with international trade (that’s when countries buy and sell things to each other), these friendships are super important! 🚢💼
Officials from Long Beach say that the relationships they’ve built over many years with friends in Qingdao help them navigate these bumpy times. It’s like having a good friend to help you when you’re having a hard day. They can talk, share solutions, and keep their connections strong.
Isn’t it cool how cities can have friendships just like people? Maybe one day, you’ll visit a sister city and make friends across the world! ✈️😊
