Houston Office of Protocol and International Affairs
Bilateral Partnership Agreements
The Houston Office of Protocol and International Affairs coordinates the city's Partners Agreements program, which allows Houston to develop special relationships with international cities in a single designated field of exchange (such as medicine, trade, education, or culture) over a one-year period. Each agreement is sponsored by the office of the Mayor or a City Council Member and coordinated by citizen volunteers. If you would like more information about Partners Agreements, please contact our office.
