Minneapolis city officials have formally signed a sister-city relationship agreement with a city in Somalia.

Minneapolis partnered with Bosaso, Somalia, in 2014 to strengthen relationships abroad and with the large Somali population here in Minnesota. 

Friday’s signing ceremony made that relationship official. Minneapolis is the first city in the United States with a sister city in Somalia. 

On Wednesday, Bosaso Mayor Yasin Mire Mohamud was in Minneapolis and toured Hennepin County Medical Center, visiting the hospital’s Simulation Center, Center for Hyperbaric Medicine, Interpreter Services Department and Medicine Clinic.

The sister-city signing ceremony took place Friday morning at Minneapolis City Hall.
