The purpose of this partnership is to promote tourism, commerce, cultural exchange and academic research involving the Central regional capital, Cape Coast and the City of Bronx.

With this agreement, the Department of African American Studies at the Fordham University will use its infrastructure and platform to promote Cape Coast as a tourism destination of choice in Africa. The first benefit of this partnership will see CCMA presenting a traditional music and dance company to the United States of America in February 2018 to attend Fordham University’s official Black History Month programme.

The partnership agreement was signed during an investments tour to the United States of America by a delegation from the Central Region . The tour which was put together by the Cape Coast Metro investments office and Malaika Media Network, in Accra took the delegation to the Fordham University, the City of Rochester and Manhattan where the delegation met the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. The Investments tour was sponsored by Fordham University with support from the City of Rochester, New York.

Ernest Arthur also paid a courtesy call on  Mayor Lovely A. Warren, the Mayor, City of Rochester, New York. The two Mayors   had discussions on collaborations between the two cities.

A committee was set up to work on establishing a Sister-City relationship between the two cities aimed at sharing ideas and supporting each other in the areas of sanitation and poverty eradication.
