The Ministry promotes coordination with other administrations, international organizations and civil society associations through conventions, letters of intent and agreements. In this regard, a collaboration agreement was recently signed with the Secretary-General of the World Organization of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG). The City of Buenos Aires currently co-chairs the Culture Committee at the UCLG, and is one of its most active members in the organization, having hosted the 3rd UCLG Culture Summit in April 2019, which was attended by more than 500 people from 100 cities.
