Bandung, Indonesia - Signed 1990

When Indonesia moved to create Sister City programs in the United States, Fort Worth was invited as the first U.S. city to link because of the strong corporate connection with Bell Helicopter, Lockheed Martin (then General Dynamics) and Pier 1 Imports, as well as Fort Worth Sister Cities International's successful track record for developing sustainable relationships. The Fort Worth/Bandung partnership continues to work around language, distance and financial obstacles to produce many important exchanges such as: pen pal and traveling trunks programs for schools; university-based "Train the Trainers" nursing programs; municipal waste water, security and management internships; international conference on women; medical school programs, as well as economic, sports and cultural exchanges. In the post 9/11 environment, the Fort Worth/Bandung relationship intends to help set the standard by which U.S.-Islamic partnerships will be measured.
