MEXICO CITY, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- Representatives of two international art festivals of Mexico and Scotland had signed an agreement on art cooperation, the Mexican National Council for Culture and Arts said Monday.

    The agreement, signed Friday night, aims at developing different art projects in Mexico and Edinburgh, which will be presented at both festivals starting in 2010.

    FIC is the most widely known and well-established cultural event in Latin America. The EIF is held for three weeks every summer and offers music and theater productions.

    The agreement would allow FIC representatives to travel to Edinburgh to broaden their understanding of how festivals are organized.

    It also establishes a consultation committee to analyze programming strategies and organize workshops, conferences, symposiums and debates for academics and public audience.
