Speech for twinning visit to Hurth, Germany
Mr Mayor, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.
May I thank you on behalf of Thetford for hosting us this weekend and sharing
with us your beautiful community.
In Thetford we are
very proud of our twinning links with all four of our twin towns; Hurth, Les
Ulis, Skavina and Spijkenesse.
I’m really pleased
to be able to support twinning activities in my Mayoral year and to be able to
visit Hurth.
Twinning provides
us with an opportunity to learn from one another. Whether that be understanding
different ways of working, appreciating new food, enjoying new music and of
course making new friends. Twinning widens our horizons and enriches our lives.
The links established through twinning will be more
important than ever for our country and will assist with maintaining that
internationalist outlook built on mutual understanding, co-operation and
friendship. Twinning provides us with opportunities to develop business links
and to drive innovation through shared learning.
We give thanks to those people from all communities
involved with twinning for their support and steely determination to maintain
these important links.
Best wishes,
Terry Jermy
Mayor of Thetford
