-pledges its support
The European Union (EU) has underscored the importance of an active civil society to the overall building and stability of the country and as such, has pledged its support to such organisations here.
“Success also comes through partnerships and we have seen tremendous progress in our cooperation with civil society. The EU is a strong believer in and supporter of a vibrant civil society, both in the EU and abroad. Why? Because civil society allows citizens to take an active part in contributing to the political agenda,”
European Union Ambassador René van Nes told attendees at the Europe Day event hosted with the European Chamber (EuCham), on Thursday evening at the Herdmanston Lodge.
