A total of 23 international delegations from capital cities will attend the event in San Jos\u00e9, including the mayor of Madrid, Manuela Carmena.<\/p>\n

According to the organizers, initiatives linked to institutional strengthening, social development, local economic development, sustainable urban development, culture and communication will be addressed, as well as cross-cutting issues such as gender, environmental sustainability, culture of peace, innovation and human rights.<\/p>\n

One of the main priorities for the coming period is the incorporation of culture as a strategic area in the organization, since the cultural dimension is fundamental to achieve more just, supportive and sustainable societies.<\/p>\n

The Assembly will also present a management report (2016-2018) and an economic balance and will propose the definition of a strategic framework to achieve the effective implementation of the SDGs in Ibero-American cities.<\/p>\n

The General Assembly of the UCCI meets every two years and that of 2018 is the second to be held after the cycle change that the organization approved in 2016.<\/p>\n

The mayor of San Jos\u00e9, Johnny Araya, will participate in the meeting; as well as the mayor of San Salvador, Nayib Bukele; the mayor of Panama City, Jos\u00e9 Bland\u00f3n; the mayor of La Paz, Luis Revilla; and the mayor of Montevideo, Daniel Mart\u00ednez, among others.<\/p>\n

The opening ceremony will be attended by the president of Costa Rica, Luis Guillermo Sol\u00eds, and the head of the Ibero-American General Secretariat, Rebeca Grynspan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
