Ana Abrunhosa wrote an opinion article published in Diário de Notícias about Coimbra's urban diplomacy, titled "parcerias para o futuro" (partnerships for the future).

As an opinion article, it presumably reflects the author's perspective on how Coimbra can strengthen its international relations and strategic partnerships.
