The Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council and the Consul of Guinea-Conakry, Ibrahima Sory Camara, met this morning at the City Hall. The meeting was attended by Ana López de Uralde, Councilor for Development Cooperation, and representatives from various African diaspora associations.
During the meeting, the involvement of these associations in promoting cooperation projects and their contribution to strengthening ties between Vitoria-Gasteiz and Guinea-Conakry was highlighted.
Between 2022 and 2026, the City Council has allocated over 13 million euros to development cooperation projects abroad. Guinea-Conakry is the third-largest recipient of funding, with 1.25 million euros, accounting for nearly 10% of the total funds disbursed. It is also the second African country to receive the most support, after the Sahara, with which the Alava capital has a long-standing collaboration.
“"These figures highlight the City Council's commitment to Guinea-Conakry and recognize the work and dedication of the non-profit associations that promote and present cooperation projects."
