Pembroke - Malta

Bergen - Germany

The town of Pembroke is twinned with with both Bergen in Lower Saxony - Germany and with Pembroke in Malta. On 16th April 1977 a partnership and twinning agreement was signed between Cllr Joe Gough, then Mayor of Pembroke and Burgermeister (Mayor) Dr W Kothe of Bergen Germany. Pembroke and Bergen next year will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the twinning. The twinning with Pembroke - Malta is a new concept and this twinning was signed on 4th May 2002, the Mayor of Pembroke at the time was Cllr Aden Brinn and the Mayor of Pembroke - Malta was Mr Joe Zammit.

Twinning is important forfor our townships and youth organisations to have the benefit to learn about each others cultures and languages. It enables exchanges of education, culture and sport. Other areasfor town twinning can be achieved through projects which will keep the momentum of twinning strong and give the process fresh impetus for the future.

In April this year the Pembroke Dock Quins visited Malta on a rugby tour. This October the first educational visit to Pembroke and Pembroke Dock will be made from Pembroke - Malta. The links between our town of Pembroke are being strengthened with both Bergen in Germany and Pembroke in Malta. It is hoped that further links can strengthen this bond of friendship between our European partners.
