  It is reported that in February of this year, Will, then the head of the four districts of Paris, had several discussions with the Chinese in the district when he ran for the central district. He promised at that time that if elected, he would build a better business and living environment for Chinese businessmen and Chinese, and plan to build a Chinese cultural center and establish Chinese monuments with local Chinese.

  At the forum, everyone enjoyed tea performances and tasted famous Chinese tea. Will said that China's tea culture can be well promoted.

  Sun Wenxiong, chairman of the French Asian Societies Union, first congratulated Will on his successful election and welcomed him to communicate with the Chinese once again. He said that the new central area is one of the areas with the strongest cultural atmosphere in Paris. In a place where diverse cultures gather, Chinese culture can be said to be unique. This is the starting point for Chinese entrepreneurship. Many Chinese have left their arduous footprint here and contributed to the development of this place. This time, after the formation of the district government team, the District Governor Will discussed with the Chinese representatives as soon as possible, showing his sincerity and concern for the Chinese. We will also follow up on the relevant plans in time.

They said that during the campaign, Mr. Will had many discussions and exchanges with members of the association, and reached consensus on the further development of Chinese businessmen and Chinese in the region.

  The mayor of Will strongly agreed with everyone's suggestions. He said that the important place for Chinese entrepreneurs in Paris is a key block in the central area. In order to better implement some plans, he specially invited the relevant members of the district government team today to discuss with Chinese friends. I hope that everyone can implement some projects as soon as possible through exchanges.
