This ceremonial key represents a symbolic gesture from Orange Walk Town, Belize, marking the opening of sister city relations with Taoyuan City and signifying enduring friendship between the two communities. The nameplate features the town’s emblem, with a background map of Orange Walk District and a star indicating the town’s location. The clasped hands and the phrase “PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE” underscore the town’s core values of mutual assistance—both public and private—in its diverse society. Flanking the design are images of sugarcane, Orange Walk Town’s principal crop and the reason behind its affectionate nickname, the “Sweet City.”
