隨著湛江城市國(guó)際化進(jìn)程加快，國(guó)際“朋友圈”不斷擴(kuò)大。目前，湛江已與全球25個(gè)城市建立友好關(guān)系，國(guó)際影響力和城市美譽(yù)度持續(xù)提升。

As Zhanjiang becomes increasingly international, its global “circle of friends” continues to expand. To date, Zhanjiang has established friendship ties with 25 cities worldwide, further enhancing its international appeal and reputation.

“國(guó)之交在于民相親，民相親在于心相通。”在中華人民共和國(guó)成立76周年之際，湛江市國(guó)際友城-澳大利亞凱恩斯市、法國(guó)敘西市、芬蘭羅瓦涅米市紛紛錄制視頻，跨越山海為湛江送上最誠(chéng)摯的祝福。

“Friendship, which derives from close contact between peoples, holds the key to sound state-to-state relations.” On the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Zhanjiang’s sister and friendship cities-Cairns (Australia), Sucy-en-Brie (France), and Rovaniemi (Finland) -have recorded video messages, sending their warmest wishes across mountains and seas to Zhanjiang.
