The project of a World Citizen Identity Card has been presented.
As part of the planned event, we were pleased to be able to present the status of development to an interested audience together with Ms. Janet Salazar, CEO of the FSUN, Chief and Permanent Representative to the United Nations. In this context, the Ambassade Du Pays de Rode is acting as host for the Foundation for the Support of the United Nations (FSUN) and the World Citizen Society (WCS), of which the latter is in the process of being founded and is supposed to have its future headquarters in Wallonia. We are delighted about this very positive and promising development and hope that all projects will continue to be successful.
