　The city enthusiastically welcomes foreign enterprises, international gatherings and a wide variety of internationally oriented events. It is a sister city of San Diego, Lyon, Mumbai, Odessa, Vancouver, Manila, Shanghai and Constantza and a sister port of Oakland, Vancouver, Shanghai, Dalian, Hamburg and Melbourne.
