Many Maryland jurisdictions partner with foreign cities through Sister Cities International, an organization whose goal is to, "Promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher =Sister Cities International )〕 The first sister city relationship in Maryland, however, was between Salisbury, Maryland and Salisbury, England, and predated Sister Cities International. Sister cities interact with each other across a broad range of activities, from health care and education to business and the arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher =Sister Cities International )〕 The partnerships in this list vary in how formalized their relationships are. Recently, a number of Maryland cities have partnered with cities in Estonia through a program developed by the Maryland National Guard after Estonia gained its independence from the Soviet Union.〔 〕 ==Sister states, regions and cities of Maryland== |- |Jalisco State |Mexico |1993〔 |- |Kanagawa Prefecture |Japan |1981〔 |- |Bong County |Liberia |2007〔 |- |Maryland County |Liberia |2007〔 |- |Łódź Province |Poland |1993〔 |- |Nord-Pas de Calais |France |1981 |- |State of Rio de Janeiro |Brazil |1999〔 |- |Saint Petersburg Leningrad Oblast |Russia |1993〔 |- |Wallonia Region |Belgium |1989〔 |- |County Cork |Ireland | |} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of sister cities in Maryland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
