Our Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor, Uğur İbrahim Altay, was elected as the President of the World Union of Municipalities, where more than 240 thousand local governments are represented. I believe that this success, which comes as a result of seven years of intense diplomacy, will further increase Turkey's international visibility. While the opposition municipalities come to the fore with their money towers, baklava boxes, and bribe deals worth millions of euros, it is also admirable that our municipalities come to the fore with international successes, and is a very important indicator that reveals the difference in mentality and vision.
