In celebration of 25 years of friendship and solidarity between Richmond, California and Regla, Cuba, we are planning a delegation to visit our dear friendship city in December 2024. The delegation will be led by Mayor Eduardo Martinez and will include City Council Members, the Richmond Regla Friendship Committee, and community members. The purpose of the trip is to reaffirm the commitment of the Richmond City Council’s September 14, 1999 resolution No. 147-99 which established a Friendship City relationship between Richmond, California and Regla, Cuba for the exchange of mutual beneficial ideas and the sharing of cultural, educational, humanitarian and municipal resources.

This will be the third official City of Richmond delegation to visit Regla, following the initial visit in December 1999 led by Vice-Mayor Irma Anderson, and the second visit in December 2013 led by Mayor Gayle McLaughlin.

We look forward to exchanges with our Cuban counterparts in the fields of health, education, the arts, and sustainability. In addition to the rich exchange of ideas, the delegation hopes to bring educational and humanitarian supplies. The creation of our Richmond Regla Friendship Committee was inspired by the People-to-People Ambassador Program created by President Eisenhower in 1956. We look forward to continuing to build bridges of exchange between our friendship cities for mutual benefit.
