The head of the district administration gave the two guests an insight into the district of Ludwigsburg and the various tasks of the district administration. He also showed the visitors the cooperation agreement between the Ludwigsburg district and Yichang, which was on display in the conference zone. District Administrator Haas referred to the long-standing partnership and said: "We are proud of our cooperation with the city of Yichang. You have always supported the cooperation in your former function as vice mayor of the city of Yichang," he said appreciatively to envoy Junhui Zhang. Cross-border cooperation, both at municipal and national level, is extremely important, said District Administrator Haas.
The partnership between the district of Ludwigsburg and Hubei Province in central China began in 1990. A cooperation agreement with the city of Yichang, which has a population of around four million, has been in place since 1995. The agreement primarily provides for cooperation in the areas of healthcare, culture and vocational training.
