The Mayor of Bristol City Council, Marvin Rees, recently confirmed “I fully endorse the Friendship Agreement between Bristol and Beira, and support Bristol Link with Beira and its charity in their endeavours to increase awareness of urban issues in both our cities. I also aim to contribute to practical proposals for Commonwealth cities, including Beira, to work with national governments to put in place governance and finance to be more resilient to climate change.”
The President of the Municipal Council of Beira, Albano Carige Antonio, responded to the naming of a meeting room in City Hall after its twin city “We have learned that you have paid homage to our beautiful city of Beira, giving its name to a room in your municipal building. We feel very honoured by this great recognition by a municipality with which we have very strong friendship ties over many years. We would like to thank you for this huge gesture”.
