On November 6, Jean Michel Descamps, the mayor of Sauternes, France, Ma Tianning, the consul general of the French Consul in Wuhan, and other related officials came to Yichang to carry out economy and trade communication activities, and Zhou Zhengying, the deputy mayor of Yichang, met with the French delegation.
As the French delegation carried out economic and trade activities in Yichang, Zhou Zhengying greatly welcomed them. She said that as the major tourist city in China, there was a friendly-cooperation history between Yichang and France. L'Oreal, a cosmetic brand cooperated by these two countries, has become the largest cosmetic production base in the world, which made us expect more opportunities to cooperate with France. We needed more multicultural elements to further strengthen the relationship with these two sister cities between Yichang and France, and made friends with more cities where there was much hope to cooperate with Yichang. Simultaneously, we expected more French excellent enterprises to promote their business in Yichang.
Ma Tianning said, the Sauternes mayor’s visit was mainly to enhance the wine trade and tourism cooperation, promote the Southwest Housing Project cooperated by Yichang and France to come into effect at the same time, and discuss possibilities of the making the Eco-City Program co-constructed by China and France implemented in Yichang and related cities both in Aquitaine and Hubei province become sister cities.
In the subsequent connecting meeting of the “Sauternes-Yichang” tourism and business, the French delegation emphatically introduced the sweet white Bordeaux Wine produced in Sauternes and other tourism products. Then the French delegation visited the International Trade Building. (Journalist: Tian Dongming, Correspondent: Zhou Jun)
