The twinning between Quetzaltenango and Torino was signed in Torino on 11 October 1997. Its origins go back to the proposal made by Rigoberta Menchú, Nobel Peace Prize and Torino honorary citizen since 1992, after the 1996 Guatemala Peace Accords. The twinning agreement aims at strengthening the democratic process and the action of local institutions.

The twinning is part of the activities covered by the International Cooperation Service of the City of Torino. Further related contents and initiatives are detailed in the International Cooperation site.

The Twinning is available in Italian and Spanish
