Spain's Foreign Minister Strengthens Ties with Mexico in Official Visit

As part of the growing rapprochement between Mexico and Spain, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares arrived in the country on an official visit.

During his trip, Albares is scheduled to meet with Mexican Foreign Secretary Roberto Velasco after previously visiting Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

Together with the head of Mexico's Foreign Ministry (SRE), he will sign the Spain-Mexico Binational Commission Agreement—a testament to the strong and fraternal ties between the two nations.

Albares emphasized that Spain's foreign policy has a deep Latin American focus, seeking to strengthen "bonds of brotherhood" and lay the groundwork for the Ibero-American Summit in Madrid this November.

According to his itinerary, on April 29, he will lay a floral tribute at the tomb of Lázaro Cárdenas, who welcomed thousands of Spanish exiles to Mexico after the Civil War. He will also inaugurate the exhibition "The Middle of the World," which he previously visited during its display in Madrid.

The Spanish minister will take part in events at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Mexico, and the National Museum of Anthropology. Additionally, he will tour the Spanish Consulate in Mexico to review progress on implementing Spain's Democratic Memory Law.
