Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez recently engaged in a video call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to discuss the bilateral relationship between Spain and Mexico, as well as the results of the XXX Ibero-American Summit, which took place in Madrid.
During the summit, a joint declaration was adopted alongside five agreements focusing on strategic areas such as civil protection and artificial intelligence. Sánchez emphasised the importance of the relationship between the two nations and their shared commitment to defending democracy and multilateralism, a principle highlighted earlier this year during the IV Meeting "In Defence of Democracy" held in Barcelona.
Looking ahead, Sánchez noted that 2027 marks the 50th anniversary of the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between Spain and Mexico, underscoring the significance of cultural diplomacy. In this context, he mentioned that the National Library is hosting an exhibition titled "Mexico: Land of Welcome. Art of Exile and Dialogues from Overseas," which highlights Mexico's reception of Spanish republican exiles and their contributions to the cultural, academic, and scientific life of the country.
