Vice Mayor of Lyon city Max Vincent and other officials of Lyon and the Rhone-Alpes region made the pledge during a recent meeting with Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Le Hoang Quan, who led a delegation on a working trip to France in the last week of June.
The host also said they will work to further all-round links with Vietnam’s southern metropolis in the future, especially in economics and culture.
Ho Chi Minh City has established twin relations with Lyon and the Rhone-Alpes region, with many effective cooperation projects in culture, education and health care in the past.
Leaders of the two metropolises have also agreed to work closely together on heritage preservation, urban planning and green growth, which are fields of mutual interest.
