Committee hears from Solna contact; mayor may visit in September
Summary
Portsmouth committee members said a Solna (Hungary) representative reported a renewed interest in reconnecting; the Solna mayor may visit in September and the contact Adrian will advise the committee on scheduling.
Committee members reported on a recent Zoom meeting with a Solna representative, Adrian, who said Solna is trying to reestablish ties and that the Solna mayor may visit Portsmouth in September.
Members said the sister-city relationship appears to date back to 1993 and has been dormant. They discussed possible historical participants who could explain the original connection and noted political changes in Hungary may be a factor in the relationship's dormancy.
The committee agreed to await Adrian's update on the mayor's schedule and to consider either a mayor-to-mayor meeting in person or a Zoom meeting if timing or travel logistics make a Boston-based visit more practical. No formal commitments or exchanges were scheduled at this meeting.
