Mayor Daley delivered a public address highlighting the work of the Chicago Sister Cities International Program and the City of Chicago’s global vision for the coming year.
“Urban centers are where the greatest concentrations of people will be living during the 21st Century. We must make cultural connections and expand our working relationships with global partners so we can continue to collaborate for the long-term,” said Mayor Daley. “The future well-being of cities like Chicago depends to a large degree on how we plan for and deal with that global inter-connection.”
More than 400 people attended the International Breakfast, with proceeds benefitting the ongoing projects of Chicago Sister Cities International.
