Submission Documents: By Councillor David McDonald:-
"Council takes pride in Glasgow being an outward looking welcoming place. Council notes that Glaswegians embrace this internationalism; consistently showing solidarity with others; unafraid to engage with challenging issues, including its own imperial past; as exampled by the Glasgow International, Scotland's largest festival for contemporary art.
Council notes that 9th May was Europe Day, an annual celebration of peace and unity in Europe. Council believes that Europe has proved itself as a promotor and protector of human and digital rights; the planet's most progressive global voice on climate change; a vehicle for sustainable economic growth and the most successful peace project in history.
Council reaffirms its commitment to engaging with Europe, regardless of Brexit outcomes and Glasgow not voting to leave the EU. Council believes that post Brexit, it is vital that Glasgow maintains this outlook; and confidently engages with other cities and countries to ensure that Glasgow is seen to be a place to visit, live, work and do business.
Council recognises that the Cities4 Europe campaign provides one of many opportunities to do so, and believes that this and the 2018 European Championships, in partnership with Berlin, are a way to involve, inspire and make an impact.
Council calls on the Chief Executive to develop an international strategy, with our key partners in the city, which builds on work being undertaken to prepare for Brexit, and sells Glasgow as a world class city, which is open for business, for study, for visitors, to collaboration, and sharing our experiences and expertise and to people continuing to make our city their home." ![Click For Help Help Icon](images/gif/help.gif)
