The Cities Changing Diabetes partnership in Argentina’s capital city, Buenos Aires, relaunched last week, convening partners and ministers from health, social promotion and welfare departments at a joint event.
The relaunch was hosted at the headquarters of the Government of the
City of Buenos Aires, and a joint press release declared a renewed
commitment to promote physical activity and improve the quality of
life for citizens.
Francisco Resnicoff, Undersecretary
of International Relations, said at the event: “The City of Buenos
Aires redoubles and reinforces its commitment to the 2030 sustainable
development agenda. Good health and well-being for citizens and
establishing multisectoral partnerships to achieve sustainable
development are important goals for us.”
The partners
have begun planning activities and agreed to cooperate to strengthen
public health policies and promote healthy behaviours. “The commitment
will contribute to positioning Buenos Aires among the twenty global
capitals with the best quality of life,” said Francisco.
That’s a great ambition, and seeing momentum renewed in this
way is encouraging. Well done to all involved, and we look forward to
hearing more in due course.
