The UCLG-MEWA Presidency and members stand together with the people of Chinese cities and their local authorities, and convey our admiration and solidarity to all the local authorities in the region who are continuing to work in such difficult circumstances.
We stand with all cities of the world who are facing this outbreak, specifically Chinese members of UCLG.
UCLG-MEWA leadership calls all relevant partners to take action and reminds the importance of local governments’ involvement in emergency action plans.
Our thoughts are with the families and relatives of all those affected by the virus.
Sincerely,
Mehmet DUMAN
UCLG-MEWA Secretary General
