PRESIDENCY MEETING

As is customary during the Annual Retreat, UCLG’s Enlarged Presidency met in closed session to take stock of the organisation’s priorities and internal processes, with a view to the upcoming World Congress in Tangier. The meeting brought together members of the Presidency and Vice-Presidency, with Secretaries General of the UCLG Sections attending as observers, creating a space for political leadership to exchange views on the organisation’s strategic direction in a rapidly changing global context. Discussions focused on aligning institutional positioning, strengthening internal coordination across regions and sections, and clarifying the next steps on the road to the 2026 Congress, as the municipal movement prepares to enter a new phase of its collective mandate.
