The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, have announced new business and tourism collaborations to attract international visitors to both cities and help companies based in London and Paris to expand into new international markets.
The agreement will, for the first time, jointly showcase London and Paris to overseas visitors, while a new initiative called the 'Paris-London Business Welcome Program' will encourage and facilitate the flow of trade and investment between the two cities.
Khan said: ?London and Paris are two of the greatest cities in the world and we have so much to gain from joining forces. Never underestimate the incredible benefits to be found when major cities do business together. Our great friends in Paris and across the continent are well aware that working closely together remains to our mutual benefit.?
The tourism agreement, which will launch in 2018, will focus on key drivers for international visitors to both cities, such as culture and heritage, and combine the resources of VisitLondon.com and Parisinfo.com
