In a move aimed at boosting cooperation and creating new opportunities, the Armenian city of Vagharshapat, commonly known as Etchmiadzin, and the Argentine city of Córdoba have become sister cities.
The twinning was formalized under a memorandum of cooperation inked by Vagharshapat Mayor Argishti Mekhakyan and Córdoba’s Mayor Daniel Passerini. The signing took place during Mayor Mekhakyan’s visit to Córdoba.
Vagharshapat City Hall said in a statement: “This important step aims to develop bilateral cooperation in the fields of culture, education, economy, and local governance, creating new opportunities for both communities. This new phase of cooperation represents another significant achievement in expanding the international relations of the Vagharshapat community.”
The Honorary Consul of Armenia to Córdoba, Juan Carlos Merdinian, also attended the meeting where the two cities were twinned.
