In a significant move to bolster institutional collaboration and sustainable urban growth, the mayor of the National District, Carolina Mejía, and the head of government of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri, inked a comprehensive cooperation agreement. The signing ceremony, held at the Government House in Buenos Aires, marked a renewed commitment to fostering friendship and shared progress between the two capitals, a relationship that dates back to their initial twinning agreement in 1991.
Mayor Mejía highlighted the transformative potential of this four-year pact, which aims to enhance urban safety, drive technological innovation, stimulate local economies, promote tourism, ensure environmental sustainability, and implement inclusive social policies. The agreement outlines a series of initiatives, including technical exchanges, training programs, workshops, and joint projects, alongside coordinated participation in international city forums.
The signing coincided with Mejía’s visit to Buenos Aires for the 21st General Assembly of the Union of Ibero-American Capital Cities (UCCI) and the 56th Executive Committee meeting. This collaboration underscores the importance of cross-border partnerships in addressing contemporary urban challenges and fostering mutual growth.
