In the framework of the National Meeting of Community Leaders held in our city last weekend, historical documents confirming the close relationship that Switzerland maintained with Concordia over 100 years ago were delivered to the Municipality.
The ceremony took place at the Castillo San Carlos, an occasion in which the Secretary of Government Luciano Dell´Olio received from the hands of the Swiss Ambassador to Argentina Hans Ruedi Bortis the documentation that enriches the local cultural and historical heritage.
“For Concordia, this National Meeting of Community Leaders has been very important because it has not only allowed us to deepen institutional relations but also allowed us to showcase our city and the history that built it, and part of that is reflected in the reception of this documentation,” remarked Dell´Olio.
For his part, Ambassador Hans Ruedi Bortis stated that what we are delivering “demonstrates the very close relationship, spanning more than 150 years, between Switzerland and Entre Ríos and Concordia in particular, so it is a true pleasure to have been here in such a significant place, steeped in history.”
The day also included the planting of trees as a closing activity for the aforementioned Meeting.
Accompanying were the Undersecretary of Tourism Laureano Schvartzman; Councilwoman Eliana Lagraña; Silvina Molina, head of Parque San Carlos; members of the Board of Directors of the Swiss Association of Concordia; authorities of Inmigrantes Unidos de Concordia and the general public.
