The first technical meeting of the UCLG–PSI Technical Group took place during the Annual Retreat, formally launching joint work toward a Global Framework Agreement on Social Dialogue and Cooperation.
Representatives from Public Services International (PSI), including members of its Secretariat and regional structures, met with UCLG leadership and the World Secretariat to review the draft agreement line by line. The exchange focused on clarifying language, aligning objectives and ensuring that the framework reflects shared principles grounded in equality and care.
The meeting helped define key elements of the text, identify areas requiring further refinement and establish next steps for continued collaboration. Further meetings of the Technical Group are expected in the lead-up to June, when UCLG and PSI leadership are set to consolidate the process during the Congress.
