Beşiktaş Mayor Rıza Akpolat continues his contacts with the European municipalities within the scope of the new vision of Beşiktaş. Although face-to-face meetings cannot be held currently due to the pandemic conditions, as a result of our ongoing talks with the Budapest II District Municipality in Hungaryfor a whilethrough our Foreign Affairs Directorate, both Mayors had an online meeting. After this fruitful event, where we exchanged ideas about the common history and cultural heritage between the two cities and nations, and especially about the fight against the pandemic, both mayors decided to start the legal procedures at their own municipality to initiate the sister city process.
