出席仪式的大阪市长横山英之签署了合作备忘录。根据协议，双方将在道路空间重组及打造宜人城市环境方面开展合作，致力于建设以人为本的街道。
The ceremony in Paris was attended by Osaka Mayor Hideyuki Yokoyama, who signed a memorandum on the partnership, under which the two sides pledge to cooperate in reorganizing road space and creating attractive urban environments to develop people-centered streets.
横山市长在致辞中表示，明年将迎来御堂筋开通90周年，他说道：「展望100周年之际，我们希望打造出一个能让人们放松身心的优美空间，同时也会向香榭丽舍大街的建设经验取经。」提及即将于明年举办的大阪·关西世博会时，横山市长指出这场为期六个月的盛会取得了巨大成功，尽管开幕前曾遭遇诸多质疑，但法国馆仍成功为整个会场带来了热烈气氛。
In his speech, Yokoyama said that Midosuji will mark its 90th anniversary next year, adding, “As we look toward the 100th anniversary, we hope to create a rich space where people can relax, while learning from the people of the Champs-Elysees.”Referring to the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka, Yokoyama said that the six-month event achieved tremendous success, with the France Pavilion helping generate excitement at the venue, despite criticism before its opening.
负责签署协议的香榭丽舍大街委员会代表马克-安托万·雅梅表示，两条街道都致力于为公众空间注入人文关怀，并期待未来能通过各类活动促进双方交流。
Marc-Antoine Jamet of the Champs-Elysees committee, the promotional organization that signed the memorandum, said that the two streets share a common commitment to bringing a human touch to their public spaces and expressed hope for exchanges through events and other activities.
