WLCU association with the UN system: Renewal and a great momentum

After an exceptional long wait, the WLCU has received the renewal of its DPI association at the UN for 2015. A congratulatory letter has been sent by the chief Administrative Anise Garabet to the NGO Committee on behalf of World President Alejandro Kuri: “I reiterate my gratitude to all members and representatives of DPI and ECOSOC who have volunteered during 2014, these efforts have contributed in making the world a better place and helped preserve the credibility of our Union with the UN system for yet another year” wrote Mr. Garabet.
