well, it is pretty easy

Select both objects and combine them.

Polygons > Combine

That will leave you with one polygon object. The problem is, that there will be a border edge running down the middle, like a seam.

Just select the object again and merge multiple edges.

Edit Polygons > Merge multiple Edges OPTIONS

Adjust the threshold to .2 or around there. This determines the max distance
to merge the verticies.
