The participating cities listened to the Deputy Secretary General’s financial report and presented the projects and initiatives which they had organized during the pandemic.

The main question to be resolved was the format and the upcoming General Assembly. Two delegates spoke in favor of holding it online, whereas three others suggested putting the event off until the last restrictions are over. The in-between option, which seemed to have appeased everyone, was suggested by Slovenj Gradec.

The program of the International Forum of People’s Diplomacy “Dialogue on the Volga: Peace and Mutual Understanding in the XXI century” in 2021 features a panel discussion between the IAPMC members, and the Association’s Secretary General suggested to discuss the organizational questions within the frame of Volgograd Forum.

Representatives of the cities declared Peace Messengers by the United Nations Organization will meet on Volgograd’s platform once again on October 31. Let us be reminded that in 2018, the IAPMC General Assembly has already been held in Volgograd – at that time, in the real life format.
