Spanish Ambassador H.E. Miguel Moro Aguilar hosted a reception at the newly opened Grand Hyatt Hotel on 12 October to celebrate his country’s National Day.
Traditionally referred to as the ‘Día de la Hispanidad’, the reception was attended by VIP dignitaries, diplomats, special invitees and the media.
Deputy Foreign Minister, Majdi Al-Dhafiri was the chief guest for the occasion and jointly cut the ceremonial cake to mark the celebration. In his address to the gathering, Ambassador Aguilar expressed his intent in maintaining and enhancing the affirmative bonds with Kuwait. He added that a country like Kuwait with a shocking history of being invaded in 1990, emerged to be a glorious beacon in the region and over time has become one of the strongest defenders of humanitarian issues around the world and in adhering to international laws. Spain and Kuwait enjoy excellent cooperation in international forums and this in turn confirms the cherished values between the two countries.
He also stated that the visits made by Kuwaiti foreign ministers, including the political consultations made with regard to the Deputy Minister in April and May 2021 respectively, are a collective progress towards newer diplomatic features.
Furthermore, he extended his gratitude to Kuwait Airways for reconnecting Madrid and Kuwait after nearly forty years, and added that with construction underway for Kuwait’s highly anticipated new global airport, numerous travel options for travelers from Spain and Latin America will be set into motion.
In conclusion he added that Spain had a heritage dating back to centuries, its long-term fruitful existence celebrates its deep historical ties with the Spanish American countries, conjoining a culturally rich, vibrant group of countries on both sides of the Atlantic, and making Spain a pioneer in today’s globalization.
The Spanish Ambassador pointed out that this year Spain is celebrating the 500th anniversary of the first documented world circumnavigation, an adventure that began in southern Spain, on 20 September, 1519, and lasted for three years.
