Eisenhower. Eisenhower urged attendees to "help build the road to an enduring peace" and "work out not one method but thousands of methods by which people can gradually learn a little bit more of each other". Originally part of People to People (PTP) then, the National League of Cities (NLC), Sister Cities International (SCI) became a separate, non-profit corporation in 1967. Today, SCI is the nation’s foremost citizen diplomacy movement with more than 2,300 communities participating in 130 countries. Since 1982, Newport News has supported a Sister City program. Today the City boasts international partnerships in Japan, China, Germany, and France. As of 2021, SCNN is also actively pursuing a new relationship in Ireland. *View the original film of President Eisenhower's 1956 speech below. About Eric Chen: SCNN's annual golf tournament is held in memory of longtime Sister Cities supporter and City staffer, Eric Chen. Eric passed away in the spring of 2013, but his love of international relations and golf are honored in our tournament. Questions?
