March 9, 2007
Consul General Eric Nelson met with Erlangen Lord Mayor Siegfried Balleis and signed the city’s Golden Book. Erlangen has a very active sister city partnership with Greater Richmond. The partnership agreement states the purpose to "enhance each partner’s ability to prosper and evolve in an increasingly global and technologically driven marketplace and to enrich each community by facilitating contacts between Germans and Americans." Actions that the partners undertake under the agreement include promoting business and government contacts and educational exchanges, identifying issues of mutual interest for follow up, and sharing information about the scientific and innovation potential of their regions.
