随着湛江城市国际化进程加快，国际“朋友圈”不断扩大。目前，湛江已与全球25个城市建立友好关系，国际影响力和城市美誉度持续提升。

As Zhanjiang becomes increasingly international, its global “circle of friends” continues to expand. To date, Zhanjiang has established friendship ties with 25 cities worldwide, further enhancing its international appeal and reputation.

　　“国之交在于民相亲，民相亲在于心相通。”在中华人民共和国成立76周年之际，湛江市国际友城-澳大利亚凯恩斯市、法国叙西市、芬兰罗瓦涅米市纷纷录制视频，跨越山海为湛江送上最诚挚的祝福。

“Friendship, which derives from close contact between peoples, holds the key to sound state-to-state relations.” On the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Zhanjiang’s sister and friendship cities - Cairns (Australia), Sucy-en-Brie (France), and Rovaniemi (Finland) - have recorded video messages, sending their warmest wishes across mountains and seas to Zhanjiang.
