　　自1980年上海和旧金山结好以来，两市在教育、文化、经济、贸易、公共卫生等多领域开展了卓有成效的交流与合作。“国际商业经理班”（Business Management Program）就是成功合作的典范。

　　1984年，由时任上海市长汪道涵和时任旧金山市长范因斯坦共同倡议，两市开始了人员培训方面的交流。其合作方式为上海派员前往旧金山，一边在当地大学就读，一边在当地公司或政府部门实习。1984年至今，已累计103位上海学员接受过BMP项目的培训。

　　Since becoming sister cities in 1980, Shanghai and San Francisco have had fruitful exchange and cooperation in the educational, cultural, economic, trade, public health and other areas. The “Business Management Program” is a model of successful cooperation.

　　Initiated by the then Shanghai Mayor Wang Daohan and thethen San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein in 1984, the two cities began the exchange in the training of personnel. It took the form of Shanghai’s sending trainees to San Francisco, who studied at a local university and worked as interns at the local companies or government departments at the same time. Since 1984, 103 Shanghai trainees have received BMP training.
