TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Municipality of Tehran and Metropolis, the World Association of Major Metropolises, signed an agreement in Iran’s capital on Sunday to boost mutual cooperation in various fields.
The agreement was signed by Mayor of Tehran Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and President of the Board of Directors of Metropolis Denis Coderre, at a ceremony at Tehran’s Milad Tower on Sunday.
Speaking to reporters, Qalibaf highlighted Tehran’s close ties with Metropolis over the past two decades, expressing the hope that the new agreement would result in stronger cooperation with the association.
Pointing to the presence of Mr. Coderre in Tehran, who is also mayor of Montreal, Qalibaf hoped that Tehran’s Municipality could find ways to promote cooperation with the Canadian city in the municipal and cultural affairs.
Tehran Municipality has been member of Metropolis since 1992 and has participated in most of its past programs.
Metropolis, World Association of the Major Metropolises, is the largest association gathering the governments of major cities all over the world.
Created in 1985, Metropolis currently represents the authorities of 137 great cities and metropolitan areas in Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific, and Europe. Metropolis also manages the metropolitan section of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG).
