During this Friday morning, the mayor Francisco Azcué participated in a meeting in Salto, Oriental Republic of Uruguay, with the Argentine ambassador to that country, Martín García Moritán, and the local mayor, Andrés Lima.
The Mayor of Concordia, after thanking García Moritán for his presence, described the meeting as very positive since “we have an enormous challenge ahead to contribute to the integration of our sister cities, which have much in common,” remarking that “we are very focused on facilitating exchange, eliminating bureaucratic barriers that foster productive development,” citing tourism as an example of an activity that knows no borders, and in that sense, the Salto Grande region has much to offer.
Azcué highlighted the work on the Concordia Airport as well as what has been done at the Salto air terminal, noting that this “will generate very important things for both cities that will boost us as a region. This requires work, management, effort, and time, but I am convinced that if we achieve this, the results will be very positive for everyone.”
JOINT WORK, JOINT SOLUTIONS
For his part, the Argentine ambassador to the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, Martín García Moritán, stressed that since he took office, his goal has been to travel throughout the country to understand the reality of each sector, and regarding border cities, “where bottlenecks are often generated on one side and the other, we want to work together to reach joint solutions.”
“This is necessary for economies and development to be that way,” García Moritán highlighted, adding that “we have to think about our future and as quickly as possible because there are many issues that must be quickly resolved and not just remain in minutes or the words of a meeting.”
FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL
Finally, the mayor of Salto, Andrés Lima, pointed out that from now on a common agenda with Concordia begins, “strengthening ties because experience shows us that we must work as a region, setting aside boundaries,” citing topics such as tourism or education as examples, two issues that traditionally unite both cities.
Lima also thanked García Moritán for his visit, indicating that there is “the best disposition to work together on the integration between Salto and Concordia, with specific actions that will be for the benefit of all.”
Also present were the Secretary of Government Luciano Dell´Olio; the Secretary of Productive Development Federico Schattenhofer; and the Argentine Consul in Salto, Carola del Río.
