DUSHANBE, July 17, 2008, Asia-Plus  -- A new cyber café, which is reciprocal gift of Dushanbe’s Sister City in the United States, Boulder, will open in Dushanbe in September.

Speaking in an interview with Asia-Plus, Shavkat Saidov, a spokesman for the Dushanbe mayor, said that that issue was discussed at a meeting of Mayor Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloyev with a delegation of Boulder led by architect David Barrett in Dushanbe on July 15.  

            During the meeting, it was decided to set up a special commission for acceptance of the facility.  

The cyber café is reciprocal gift to Dushanbe.  In 1989, Dushanbe sent to Boulder a teahouse.  

During 2007, the Boulder-Dushanbe Sister City (BDSC) organization selected a contractor to

build the cyber café in Dushanbe and completed fundraising for the project.  The cyber café is expected to include an American restaurant, a library and 18 computers.
