20 Years of Friendship

How many people we wondered, had been involved in the program over the last 20 years since the first exchange of delegations in 1989? We started thinking of all the people whose lives had changed as a result of the relationship with Yakutsk and the friendships formed. The group at the reception expressed interest in reaffirming the ties.
