NKA visits KNITA

A visit was made in May 2007 by four members of the Newport Kutaisi Association to Kutaisi as guests of Kutaisi Newport International Twinning Association.
They met civic, academic, commercial & religious leaders, entertained by individual KNIA members, attended concerts and travelled out into the Georgian countryside visiting sites of historic importance.
Newport Kutaisi Association would like to thank Kutaisi-Newport International Association for their wonderful kindness & generosity.
