The Mayor of Dijon, François Rebsamen, has expressed his continued
support for our twinning with Dijon in the attached message.
M. François Rebsamen, the Mayor of Dijon, has expressed
his support for future twinning events between the cities of Dijon
and York, which started in 1953, and which will be celebrating its
70th anniversary in 2023.
Naturally, thoughts in both Dijon and York are currently focused
on dealing with the coronavirus and protecting the health of our
citizens.
Nevertheless, he added, we continue to celebrate the warm
relationship between our two cities.
The Mayor, himself, tested positive for Covid-19 in October
2020, as have some other members of Dijon Council. Dijon became
one of the first cities in France to start administering a vaccine
against Covid-19.
