The Los Angeles Beirut Sister City Committee was established to create a bridge of understanding and friendship between the residents of these two great cities, and to foster cultural, social, and business exchanges.

Sisterly ties were officially established on August 27, 2005. Los Angeles Council Member Dennis Zine and Council President Eric Garcetti made the motion to start the process of making L.A. and Beirut Sister Cities. L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa also signed the motion. Representing Beirut was Abdulmonem Al-Aris; the Mayor of Beirut, and VP of the Beirut City Council, Tawfic Kfoury. (See reports and pictures about the agreement in the news section.)

The Los Angeles-Beirut Sister City Committee is a non-sectarian, non-political organization allowing all who wish to foster goodwill between the two cities to contribute to that goal.
Your contribution and support is encouraged.
