Senate Committee for Culture, Arts, Mass Information Means is organizing on Tuesday an event on cultural diplomacy, collective memory and identity affirmation, titled "From the Bridge of Flowers to the National Press Museum - Pages of History", at the Madrigal - Marin Constantin Galleries of the Palace of the Parliament.
The event is organized in partnership with the National News Agency of Romania - AGERPRES and the State News Agency of the Republic of Moldova - MOLDPRES.
"This solemn event is a bow to a defining moment in the history of Romanian-Moldovan relations - the Bridge of Flowers - and at the same time opens a modern perspective on a nationwide endeavor: the establishment of the National Press Museum, a legislative draft law initiated under the aegis of the Committee for Culture, Arts, Mass Information Means," said the Committee chairman, Cristian Niculescu-Tagarlas, according to a press release sent to AGERPRES on Monday.
Members of the Romanian Parliament and the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, members of the Royal House, ambassadors and representatives of the diplomatic corps, academics, historians, journalists, artists, representatives of civil society and heritage institutions are invited to the event.
"The photographic exhibition organized by AGERPRES, evoking the symbolism of the Bridge of Flowers, will be accompanied by musical moments, high-level speeches and a segment dedicated to the signing of a Joint Declaration on cultural and parliamentary cooperation between the two states. The event also marks the start of a series of cultural initiatives aimed at highlighting the role of the media in strengthening democracy and culture in defining a common European identity. In the year when the Romanian Orthodox Church is celebrating the centenary of its elevation to the rank of Patriarchate, and European nations are seeking common answers to contemporary challenges, this event is meant to be a bridge between memory and the future, between identity and solidarity," the press release further reads.
