ROSARITO BEACH, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO---"This beachfront resort city 20 miles south of San Diego County will host the XXIII Binational Convention of
the Sister Cities of Mexico and the United States from June 14 to 17.
"We expect about 200 people, including Sister City officials and mayors from throughout the U.S. and Mexico, as well as many others involved in this
important international organization," said Jorge Villanueva, president of the Rosarito Sister Cities Committee.
"Several prestigious guest speakers from both nations will be featured," he added.
The XXIII Binational Convention of the Sister Cities Mexico and the United States will be an important forum to discuss international cooperation and
