Catalonia expresses interest in hosting UN agencies

Barcelona, ​​Jan 19 (Prensa Latina) The region of Catalonia, in northeastern Spain, announced its interest in hosting United Nations agencies, following the United States' refusal to support them.

In fact, informal talks have already taken place, as revealed this Monday by the Catalan Minister of European Union and Foreign Action, Jaume Duch.

At a breakfast with the media in Barcelona, ​​Duch emphasized that Catalonia would be ready for UN agencies “that want or need to find a new location.”

As with all official activities of the day, condolences were offered to the families and friends of the victims of the Adamuz (Cordoba) train accident, which has claimed 39 lives so far and left approximately 75 injured.

Duch opined that Catalonia could advance a platform for foreign policy, and therefore “could, why not, be the home of some of these international organizations that are now more necessary than ever.”
