communiqué - 12/03/2020
In view of the far-reaching measures taken in response to the COVID-19 in many cities around the world, the UCLG Presidency wishes to send a message of solidarity but also to call on its members to contribute to the fight against the virus. Once again, we are facing a challenge that knows no borders and although some of the measures to be taken do have to do with them, we at UCLG are convinced that the solutions have to be integrated and cross-border with full participation of all spheres of government.
