Representatives from the Norfolk Sister Cities Association dropped by Xavier University on June 19 during their visit to Cagayan de Oro, a sister city of Norfolk, Virginia since 2008 under the Sister Cities International Program.

While at XU, the delegation composed of Ms Janis Weisberg, immediate past president of Norfolk Sister Cities Association; Dr Juan Montero who spearheaded the formation of the Cagayan de Oro-Norfolk sister cities relationship; and Guia Caliwagan, chair of the Norfolk-Cagayan de Oro Sister City Committee, met with XU President Fr Bobby Yap SJ with whom they discussed possibilities of setting up an academic exchange program and a MacArthur Museum.

The Norfolk group was in town to foster friendship, extend goodwill and explore mutually beneficial international opportunities between both cities.
