Bulgaria to explore sister city deal with Jaipur

Bulgaria today said it would explore the possiblities of establishing a sister city relationship between Jaipur and the eastern European country's second largest city Plovdiv.
Expressing his desire to establish a relationship between the two cities, Bulgarian Ambassador to India Petko Doykov said that he would write to the Mayor of Plovdiv to explore the possibilities of establishing such kind of a relationship.
"There is a long history of relationship between Bulgaria and India. Culture, education are some of our key agenda of diplomatic relationship and now I personally feel that a contact should be set up between the Indian city of Jaipur and Bulgarian city of Plovdiv," Doykov told reporters here.

He said that he will write to the Plovdiv Mayor to float such a proposal in the municipality.
After his confirmation, the proposal will be discussed with municipality committee there and if this gets some momentum, the proposal will be forwarded to Jaipur Municipal Corporation for such an agreement.
"I want to promote cultural exchange between both the historic cities and it will further strengthen the partnerships between both the countries," he said.
Plovdiv is Bulgaria's second largest city after capital Sofia.
