Councillor Noonan says there have been unofficial links between the two cities for around 10 years now with exchanges on issues like social inclusion, community development, food, culture, tourism and heritage.
He says its been a succesful partnership and in a post brexit world it will be even more important to reach out to other European partners to share values and ideas.
