Beijing, Feb 26, IRNA - Mayor of Tehran Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf arrived here on Wednesday to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Mayor of Beijing to establish a sisterhood relationship between the two capitals.

Ghalibaf was welcomed by high-ranking Beijing Municipality officials in the city?s international airport.


A sisterhood relationship is a long-term, cooperative bond between two cities in different countries through which cultural, educational, trade and technical exchanges take place.
