Paraguay renews its commitment to ORU Fogar

Alfonzo Romero, president of the Association of Departmental Boards of Paraguay (AJUDEPA) and Sergio Cantero, director general of Planning of the Central Department of Paraguay, visited the headquarters of ORU Fogar in Barcelona to notify the change of governor in Central. With this visit, the new governor, Carlos Zaldívar, who replaces Blas Lanzoni, renewed Central's commitment to continue in the organization's Bureau, as treasurer.

Romero and Cantero, besides meeting with the secretary of ORU Fogar and seeing the organization's upcoming international commitments, took advantage of the opportunity to review the state of implementation of various projects in which they participate, such as RIS3 or Regions Adapt. They also held meetings with representatives of Barcelona`s Provincial Council and the Government of Catalonia. They met with the Foreign Affairs Commissioner of the Provincial Council, Josep Lluís Alay, and they agreed to include Paraguay's participation in ORU Cultural Diversity Group lead. Of the meetings with the Government of Catalonia, we should highlight the meeting at the Waste Agency of Catalonia that offered the possibility, once the Catalan government had fully re-established, of advising on waste treatment and recycling policies.

In Madrid, Alfonzo Romero visited the Autonomous Community of Madrid and met with Isabel Díaz, Vice-Chairman of the Presidency and Ignacio Javier García, Director General of European Affairs and Cooperation.
