The Senate's committee on culture and media is organizing on Tuesday, at the Madrigal Galleries of the Palace of Parliament, an event of cultural diplomacy, collective memory and identity affirmation, entitled "From the Flower Bridge to the Press Museum - Pages of History."
The event is organized in partnership with the National News Agency - AGERPRES and the State Information Agency of the Republic of Moldova - MOLDPRES.
"This solemn event honours a defining moment in the history of Romanian-Moldovan relations - the Flower Bridge - and opens, at the same time, a modern perspective on an initiative of national scope: the establishment of the Press Museum, a legislative project, initiated under the aegis of the committee for culture and media," states the chairman of the committee, Cristian Niculescu-Tagarlas, according to a press release sent to AGERPRES on Tuesday.
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 the civil society and heritage institutions are invited to the event.
"The photographic exhibition created by AGERPRES, evoking the symbolism of the Flower Bridge, will be accompanied by musical moments, high-profile interventions 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 debut of a series of cultural initiatives aimed at highlighting the role of the press in consolidating democracy and culture in defining a common European identity. In the year in which the Romanian Orthodox Church celebrates the centenary of its elevation to the rank of Patriarchate, and European nations are seeking common responses to contemporary challenges, this event is intended to be a bridge between memory and the future, between identity and solidarity," the press release states.
