Let $AM$ and $AN$ be the tangents to a circle $\Gamma$ drawn from a point $A$ ($M$ and $N$ lie on the circle). A line passing through $A$ cuts $\Gamma$ at $B$ and $C$, with B between $A$ and $C$ such that $AB: BC = 2: 3$. If $P$ is the intersection point of $AB$ and $MN$, calculate the ratio $AP: CP$ .
