Phoenix eyes adding five more sister cities for economic, cultural ties

Phoenix is looking to add a few more sister cities.

Arizona’s capital has 11 sister cities across the globe but is looking to add up to five more in the next five years.

There are other partnerships such as foreign exchange student programs that are part of the sister cities.
