In a discussion on sister city links, Laguna Niguel officials described a formal relationship with Qaim that began January 29, 2008. Donations were sent, and a Qaim mayor visited, but rising violence has cut contact and the mayor is in exile with secret location.
Laguna Niguel has had a sister city relationship with Qaim Iraq for six years. Qaim lies on the Euphrates near the Syrian border about 250 miles from Baghdad and has a population around 250 000. Officials stress people to people ties beyond city halls and express optimism for future collaboration under a representative Iraqi government.
A sister city relationship is a formal long term link between two communities in different countries, recognized by leaders with signed agreements. California hosts over 82 such relationships, while leaders advise preserving ties amid political differences and war, highlighting local activists like Nabil Toma and efforts from Laguna Niguel and Anaheim.
