#leipzighouston on a mission! Exciting days lie behind us. A small Leipzig delegation traveled to Houston for a panel discussion on urban diplomacy. Four of our board members were kindly invited by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany (Auswärtiges Amt) to join Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in a dialogue between citizens of the two sister cities. We met with Mayor Burkhard Jung (Stadtverwaltung Leipzig) and were generously received by Mayor of Houston Sylvester Turner and his fabulous team.
We talked about the history of our transatlantic partnership and how a relationship between friends can overcome any crisis. The foundation of our cooperation is based on trust, hard work and good times!
We wish to express our gratitude to the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, the Department of International Affairs of the City of Leipzig, their chief Dr. Gabriele Goldfuß and her amazing team; and to our friends of the Houston-Leipzig Sister City Association – none of this would be possible without you! More details to follow!

After the rain… comes the sun! #leipzig witnessed an impressive thunder storm earlier this evening. It must have brought us luck ‘coz RB Leipzig ⚽️ started into the new season with an amazing 5:1 against Stuttgart.
Happy weekend y’all!

Its our anniversary! 🎉
On this day 30 years ago, the official sister city agreement between #leipzig and #houston was signed. We are endlessly grateful for the countless good encounters and friendships that are part of this very special bond over the #atlantic.
We are proud of how active we have been able to keep this sister city relationship over all these years – nothing we could have ever accomplished without the relentless support of our friends and colleagues of the Houston Leipzig Sister City Association Houston-Leipzig (HLSCA) in Houston. Happy birthday, guys!!! 💙💛💙💛
Thank you to @stadtleipzig and their Department for International Affairs and their corresponding department of the city of City of Houston. 💛💙💛💙
A big shoutout also goes to US-Generalkonsulat Leipzig and US-Botschaft Berlin. Your support enabled so many fabulous events and connections over the past three decades.

Consul General Kenichiro - Ken - Toko’s time at @usconsleipzig has come to an end and we wish him and his family all the best for their next journey. 🇲🇹
We celebrated an early #fourthofjuly at the consulate a few days ago. It was clear that the whole consular team will miss Mr. Toko very much and that his and his team’s efforts to strengthen the German-American relationship on a people-to-people level have led to sustainable cooperation and deep friendships on many levels. Farewell, Mr. Toko, we hope to see you back in #leipzig some time!
