Concordia is the host of the National Meeting of Community Leaders, organized by the Argentine Confederation of Communities together with Inmigrantes Unidos de Concordia, with the participation of diplomats, ambassadors, and representatives of various communities.
Mayor Francisco Azcué participated in the official opening ceremony that took place this past Friday afternoon, an occasion in which he expressed his gratitude for the choice of our city as the host of the Meeting, "which allows us to bring together many people who work to foster a sense of belonging, something we promote from our administration through joint actions with institutions."
"The province of Entre Ríos and particularly Concordia have forged their history hand in hand with immigrant culture, starting with the arrival of our ancestors who came from different parts of the world to populate this land," remarked Azcué.
Immigrants "represent the culture of work, effort, and merit, as well as tolerance, respect, and peaceful coexistence."
José Gareis, president of the Argentine Confederation of Communities, pointed out that "we are once again brought together by that common commitment that unites us, which is to preserve, promote, and project our cultural roots, our languages, traditions, and above all, the values that our families brought when arriving on this noble Argentine soil. Today more than ever, we reaffirm that Argentina is plural, diverse, and solidary, and as community leaders, we are living witnesses to the immense contribution that our communities have made and continue to make to cultural, social, and economic development."
For her part, Yamile Latour, president of Inmigrantes Unidos de Concordia, stated that the creation of these types of spaces "celebrates the cultural diversity that is part of the heritage of Argentines. We are a melting pot of races, which, even if it seems like a very trite term, makes us very special," encouraging that this continue "because it is part of growing, establishing ties, and building bridges between communities from different parts of the country."
The opening ceremony was attended by national and provincial legislators, municipal and provincial officials, representatives of Mayoralties from the Concordia Department and other parts of the province, among other authorities.
