The process to establish a Sister City Partnership between Peshawar and New York has progressed after the New York City Mayor’s Office sent a draft agreement to the Governor House in Pakistan.
KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi welcomed the development, calling it a positive step toward international cooperation. He stated that the initiative is viewed by New York City as an effort to strengthen people-to-people ties between Pakistan and the United States.
Under the proposed Sister City Partnership, Peshawar and New York would collaborate in several key areas. These include education, economic development, youth skills training, science and technology, cultural exchange, and official visits. The agreement aims to create practical opportunities for mutual learning and growth.
The governor emphasized that the partnership could improve Peshawar’s global image. It may also open doors for new educational, technical, and employment opportunities for the city’s youth. By connecting Peshawar with a major global hub like New York, officials hope to expand links with modern economic sectors.
The draft agreement also encourages cooperation in student exchange programs, technology sharing, and cultural initiatives, benefiting citizens of both cities. Officials believe that a Sister City Partnership can attract investment, promote tourism, and foster friendship between the communities.
If finalized, the initiative would reflect Pakistan’s growing focus on city-level international collaboration. It could serve as a model for other cities in the country seeking to establish similar global ties.
