Salut on behalf of ECTUN at the 7th Congress of UIL Rome and Lazio
28 - 29 of MAY 2018, ROME
Dear colleagues,
It is a great honor to be here on the occasion of the VII Congress of the UIL of Rome and Lazio, on behalf of the ECTUN network.
We are here on the kind invitation of the Secretary General Alberto Civica, and on this occasion we inaugurate the new era of our network.
It could not be more appropriate to start from here, since in November 1985, during the III Congress of the UIL, the idea of creating a Permanent Forum of the European capitals’ unions, for a continuous exchange of ideas, experiences and for undertaking and developing initiatives on themes of common interest, was born.
It has been 33 years already. The world has changed profoundly, progressing and regressing at the same time.
