History
The International Relations and Friendship Cities Committee was established January 12, 2012.
The Committee acts as an advisory body for international relations and the Sister/Friendship City program and to assist Council in exploring opportunities for mutual economic and cultural benefits with other cities across the globe.
In 2023, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Affairs Office requested from the City of Burnaby Mayor's Office that Taiwan be referred to as such without the written inclusion of China and affiliated names modern or historical, to keep in line with current Provincial and Federal practice. Historical records will not be altered and notes have been added where appropriate in archival descriptions in respect to the request.
