Wu Xiaodong, mayor of Lishui city in East China's Zhejiang province, received a French delegation led by French Senator Philippe Folliot on Aug 27.

Wu Xiaodong welcomed the guests and gave a briefing on Lishui city, thanking Folliot for helping establish the bridge between Lishui and Mazamet.

Wu said that Mazamet was a highly internationalized city with a beautiful environment and developed industries. Its main industries include cosmetics, health, metal fabricating and food processing.

The mayor expressed the hope Lishui and Mazamet would deepen their exchanges and business cooperation.

Folliot said Mazamet, like Lishui, was a city seeking innovation and open development. He added that he would actively promote exchanges between the two and promote the settlement of sister city relations when he returned to France.
