Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon and his Los Angeles counterpart Eric Garcetti signed an agreement Monday to expand cooperation in disaster prevention and tourism, the Seoul metropolitan government said.
The agreement also calls for the two cities to cooperate further in urban security, culture, transport and environment, Seoul officials said.
During the signing ceremony, Park awarded Garcetti with an honorary citizenship of the South Korean capital.
"Now that Mr. Garcetti is an honorary Seoul citizen, I hope he'll foster even more goodwill and exchange between the two cities," Park said.
On Tuesday, Garcetti is scheduled to visit Buddhist temples and key South Korean companies in Seoul.
The two cities signed a friendship agreement in 2006 to promote exchange in various fields.
