On Thursday, Our Water, To a Boundless Future, a program of the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism, was rolled out at the Palais Brongniart, a classical structure seating on the bank of the Seine in Paris, France.
"Our Water: a global city dialogue started in Shanghai," a series of city image promotional activities launched by the Shanghai municipal government, started its first leg in the capital of France.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism, and the Paris Olympic Year.
