Hamedan, Bern to Deepen Tourism Ties

Hamedan's Mayor Abbas Soufi says talks are underway with Switzerland's envoys to develop cooperation with the European country on promoting the tourism attractions of the historical city overseas.
"Switzerland is one of the countries targeted for cooperation to boost inbound tourism and investment and, in the same vein, Hamedan's City Council and Municipality have opened negotiations with Swiss Ambassador [Markus Leitner]," Soufi was quoted by IRNA as saying.
Swiss officials, in a recent bilateral meeting, stressed their side's interest in helping turn Hamedan into a popular tourism destination for Swiss and other European visitors, the mayor said. "The meeting was used to introduce Hamedan's tourist attractions and handicrafts and explore potential areas of cooperation."
