Officials from La Paz, Mexico, kicked off a campaign Tuesday to attract U.S. tourists and got a helping hand from its American sister city, Redondo Beach.

An event to launch the push, called "La Paz: City of Peace and Abundance on the Sea of Cortez," was held at Redondo Beach's old historic library in Veterans Park.

La Paz, which means "peace" in Spanish, is located on the eastern coast of the peninsular state of Baja California Sur.
