In 1987, during Jerzy Bolesławski's term, Warsaw received the "Medal of the International Year of Peace" from theUnited Nations.

It became an official UN document.[2] In 1989, during Jerzy Bolesławski's presidency, the first four partnership agreements of Warsaw were signed. The first one was signed on September 24, 1989 with Toronto, the next one with GermanDüsseldorf on September 27, 1989, October 22 with JapaneseHamamatsu, and the fourth on November 22 with the French region ofÎle de France, which, in the urban sense, constituted "Greater Paris". This was the result of earlier arrangements and activities. A year earlier, in 1988, Bolesławski visited, among others, Düsseldorf, where he opened an exhibition devoted to Warsaw and held talks on cultural and infrastructural cooperation. In the same year, he also held talks with representatives ofThe Hague.[3] During his term, Jerzy Bolesławski also held negotiations with representatives of the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning ofSweden, in order to acquire new partners for the construction of, at that time, innovative waste treatment plant.[4] According to historians, Warsaw did not later demonstrate such dynamics in concluding partnership agreements.[5]
