Cebu, Russia to ink action plan
CEBU, Philippines - A Russian official is scheduled to visit Cebu for the signing of an action plan with its sister province.
Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III said that St. Petersburg Governor Georgy Poltavchenko will come on March to fulfill what was discussed during his meeting to Russia last week.
Davide said he personally got the chance to talk to his counterpart in St. Petersburg to discuss the friendship and cooperation programs for the two provinces.
“(I had a) fruitful visit, had a chance to meet the governor of St. Petersburg. He is coming this March to sign agreement sa action plan nato,” he told reporters.
Davide and a select team from the Capitol were in Russia from September 27 to October 5.
He said a joint committee composed of members from both provinces will be formed to formulate the action plan, which will reportedly enshrine the friendship and cooperation between St. Petersburg and Cebu.
He said the honorary consuls of Russia and the Philippines will be involved in this project.
Davide said St. Petersburg was “very receptive” to the Cebu delegates when they were there, resulting to the governor’s assurance that he will come to also pay a visit to Cebu next year. —/FPL (FREEMAN)
