The First Visit of Russian Delegation to Harvard in 2003
|
The first visit of the Russian delegation to Harvard University took place from December 4 to December 8, 2003. The delegation came to Harvard to discuss the possibility of returning St. Daniel’s bells to Russia. The parties held the first official talks and signed a Joint Statement. The Statement reflected the friendly atmosphere of the talks and demonstrated the Parties’ mutual goodwill. The first visit gave a start to an open and sincere dialogue, which grew into friendship and resulted in the decision on the exchange of bell ensembles. |
