Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Burntisland-Flekkefjord twinning

That the Parliament celebrates the 80-year anniversary of the twinning of Burntisland and Flekkefjord in Norway; recognises the longstanding ties between these two North Sea coastal towns, with a delegation from Flekkefjord having recently visited the Burntisland Highland Games to maintain this close relationship, and the local twinning committee continuing to organise trips between Scotland and Norway for teenagers; understands that the origin for twinning the two towns occurred in part due to the bonds forged between Scotland and Norway during World War Two; commends the organisers and residents of both towns for maintaining these unique ties of friendship between nations, and commemorates Fife’s part in welcoming exiled Norwegian soldiers in the country during the Second World War in what it sees as a collective struggle against tyranny in Europe.
