Under the terms of the new deal the collaboration will run until at least 2028, taking it to a minimum of 22 years.

The longevity of our special relationship is a sign of our enduring shared values, our ambition to bring our global communities together, and our commitment to building on the numerous achievements that have marked our 17-year journey to date.”
