Lodged by Jim Fairlie (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 28 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the cities of Perth and Bydgoszcz on the 25th anniversary of their city twinning agreement; understands that representatives of Bydgoszcz will be invited to attend a celebratory weekend of events in Perth scheduled between 8 and 12 June 2023, with reciprocal events taking place in September; believes that Perthshire has one of the largest Polish communities in Scotland, with many Poles staying on after the Second World War, while a number have settled in the area more recently; commends the significant support it considers that the Polish community has given to Ukrainian refugees, both in Perth and Kinross and in Poland, as noted in a recent Perth and Kinross Council report; believes that the planned events offer a great opportunity to celebrate the links between Perthshire and Bydgoszcz, and wishes all involved every success.
