U.S. congressman welcomes Monterey and Lankaran sisterhood relationships
BAKU – The U.S. Congressman from California Sam Farr made a statement in which he welcomes sister-city relationships between Monterey (California) and Lankaran (Azerbaijan).
In the statement he says: "I rise today to welcome the city of Lankaran, Azerbaijan as a new sister city to a city in my district, Monterey, California. Lankaran joins six other cities that have sister-city arrangements with Monterey. The other cities are: Tainan City, Taiwan; Nanao, Japan; Dubrovnik, Croatia; Trapani, Italy; Kusadasi, Turkey; and Lerida, Spain. Lankaran, located on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea offers great potential for a thriving tourism industry for Azerbaijan. As a tourist mecca of its own Monterey can offer a great example of best practices in tourism of Lankaran. I hope this new relationship will foster good will and friendship between two wonderful cities and two countries allied in peace."
The sisterhood agreement between Lankaran and Monterey was signed in June during the visit of Lankaran Municipality delegation to California.
