Los Angeles, July 31 (CNA) Temple City in California and Hualien County in Taiwan will forge sisterhood relations on Aug. 25, when the county chief signs a memorandum of understanding cementing the ties in person in Los Angeles.

Hualien County Magistrate Fu Kun-chi (傅崑萁) will fly to the United States to sign the MOU, John Wu (吳程遠), a former chairman of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America, told CNA on Tuesday.
