The “Euro-Latin American Forum on Sustainable Development of International Transboundary Basins - Transboundary Governance for the Protection of Natural Areas and Promotion of Multimodal Governance” was held at our city's Convention Center.
This activity was organized with the support of, among others, the Latin American Integration Association (ALADI); the Association of European Border Regions, the Euro-Latin American Network of Transboundary Basins, and the Administrative Commission of the Uruguay River (CARU).
It was carried out within the framework of the “Adelante-2 Window for Triangular Cooperation European Union-CARU-CCRU 2023-2024” project.
After welcoming the various participating authorities and congratulating the organization for the Forum, Mayor Francisco Azcué highlighted that from the municipal administration “we are convinced that it is time to use politics as a tool for transformation and development, that we must place the private sector and intermediate institutions at the center of the stage,” with the State fulfilling the role of a facilitator of tools.
“We are facing a huge opportunity for this to happen and for Concordia to return to what it was some time ago: a land of opportunities,” which had been achieved through the use of different alternatives, as was the port at the time. For this to happen, the work must be joint, between different government institutions and private capital.
Finally, he highlighted that both in the country, the province, “with the leadership of Governor Rogelio Frigerio, and in our city, we understood what the path is, which must go hand in hand with public policies that raise the banner of sustainability, of caring for the resource that is the Uruguay River, and that are focused on long-term projects that transcend time.”
