First posted 04:39pm (Mla time) April 15, 2006 By Jocelyn R. Uy Inquirer MUNTINLUPA City will soon have a fourth sister city: Pitesti, also known as Romania's tulip town. Romanian Ambassador Radu Homescu was recently in Muntinlupa, upon the order of Pitesti Mayor Tudor Penduic, to prepare for the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement in October between the two cities. Along with other embassy officials, Homescu visited the city's sports complex, which is under construction in Tunasan village, the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa, and the Muntinlupa City Technical Institute, said Tez Navarro, head of the city's Public Information Office. Navarro said the city government was hopeful that the ties between the two cities would stimulate their economies and further boost cooperation, particularly in tourism and the exchange program for students. Mayor Jaime Fresnedi said the agreement would open doors for both cities’ students and professionals in the field of education, health, and sports. Pitesti, tucked in the Arges county at the junction of Arges River, is known for its wineries, plum orchards, and handicraft centers. It is also the host of the Tulip Festival every spring. If the move would push through in October, Pitesti will be Muntinlupa's fourth sister city outside the country after Staffanstorp in Sweden, Gunma in Japan, and Liuzhou in China. |

QUOTE(Ek-ek @ Apr 25 2006, 01:36 AM) [snapback]1786271[/snapback] Sister city pack is different from opening up a diplomatic consulate! you mean a sister city pact""? yeah i know. but i was talking about the reopening of diplomatcy of Romania (which was downgraded only to the Soviet orbit until the fall of Soviets), one had happened during the middle to late nineties in Manila and Bucharest. in any case i'm saying is that this pact wouldn't have happened if there aren't any diplomatic exchange that opened when Romania cast out its communist shroud. |
