“Normandy has witnessed the war and the peace and has been the starting point of the liberation and pacification of a continent. We know well the importance of values such as the acceptance of the others, and the cross-border friendly cooperation, and we are therefore deeply committed to the dissemination of these, profoundly European, values”, Priollaud said while praising ALDA’s engagement in these issues. Finally, ALDA Governing Board, also addressed by the Vice-president in the representation of all ALDA network has expressed its gratitude for the excellent reception and the commitment to many more years of fruitful cooperation.
