The "Porto Bristol Association" was formed to bond the Twin Cities of Bristol in England, and Oporto in Portugal, together.

This Page highlights some of the activities of the Oporto Branch, Portugal.

The following words are that of the "Treaty" that was signed between these two Cities, on 11th April 1984:-

"Being mindful of the trading links which have existed between the City of Bristol and the City of Oporto for over five centuries and the firm friendship which has been established between our two cities over that long period, we consider that it is now appropriate for those links to be recognised formally and for them to be taken as the foundation upon which further development of trade, commerce and cultural activities may be built.
On behalf of the citizens of our two ancient cities, we therefore assent to the inauguration of a Trade and Cultural Union between Bristol and Oporto and resolve in establishing this Treaty Of Friendship to undertake everything within our power to further the links of friendship and the benefits of co-operation between our two cities".
