We are Leeds City Council’s International Relations team.

Leeds is a large and vibrant city in the north of England, which has developed strong international partnerships with cities across the world. We are building our online presence to tell the city – and the world – about our activities.

Developing international links is great for cities and communities, to strengthen business links and exchange best practice and individuals between schools, youth projects, charities and public and private sector organisations.

In 2018, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our city partnership with Lille in France and the 30th anniversary with Hangzhou in China.  In 2019 the spotlight will be on our partnership with Dortmund in Germany which will be entering its 50th year.
