Ustyuzhna (Vologda Oblast, Russia) and Kannus (Finland) resume cooperation ties.

Ustyuzhna (Vologda Oblast, Russia) and Kannus (Finland) resume cooperation ties.

The city of Ustyuzhna and Kannus, a town located in the province of Western Finland have been official twin cities for several years.

The Letters of Intent on establishing partnership ties between the towns were signed in 1995 and 2003. Within the framework of this cooperation, schoolchildren from Ustyuzhna went to Kannus for an internship. Partnership links were established in various spheres ranging from cultural sphere to public health care to sports.

It’s worth noting that Kannus is the only city in Finland which has sister cities in 15 countries. Ustyuzhna takes a very important place among them.

In summer 2015 an exhibition of the Ustyuzhna Museum "Ustyuzhna and Kannus: 20 years together" telling about the joint activities of the cities boosted cooperation ties between Kannus and Ustyuzhna.

The new cooperation agreement envisages an exhibition of Ustyuzhna’s painters in Finland, concerts of local musicians and participation of Finnish craftsmen in the Ustyuzhna fair scheduled for August 2016.
