Ensenada mayor to visit Newport Beach today

Newport Beach Mayor Tod Ridgeway today will meet with the new mayor of

Ensenada, Mexico, Dr. Jorge Catalan Sosa.

The meeting between the leaders of the sister cities will take place

at 11 a.m. at Newport Beach City Hall, 3300 Newport Blvd.

Catalan is visiting the city as part of the Newport Beach Sister City

Assn. Okazaki, Japan; Antibes, France; and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, are

also Newport Beach sister cities.

Ridgeway met with Catalan for the first time last month to talk about

advancing cultural and educational exchanges -- a topic the pair will

revisit today.
