Dear members of the Executive Bureau,
We are pleased to confirm that the 2018 UCLG Executive Bureau meetings will be held from 23 to 26 May at the headquarters of the European Parliament in Strasbourg (France), at the kind invitation of the Mayor of Strasbourg and UCLG Co-President Roland Ries.
We kindly ask you to put these dates in your agendas.
Draft programme
A draft programme of the Executive Bureau is available via the link below. Please bear in mind, however, that this may suffer minor changes.
The meeting of the Executive Bureau will take place on Friday 25 May.
The 2018 edition of the Executive Bureau is foreseen to include dialogues between ministers and local governments on our key areas of work in partnership with UN‑Habitat and within the framework of UNACLA.
It will further be the occasion for the Policy Councils to meet.
We also ask the Committees, Working Groups, Fora and Communities of Practice that wish to meet in Strasbourg to let us know as soon as possible, given the limited slots available.
