Carlos Menem will remain in the collective memory as a democratically-elected president who ran Argentina in the 1990s and contributed to enhancing the sound ties that exist with both Spain and with the European Union.
He was also one of the main proponents of the signing of the Treaty of Asuncion and of MERCOSUR, which will soon celebrate its 30th anniversary. The Government of Spain will continue to support, as former President Menem did, all efforts that lead to strengthening ties with Argentina, as well as with MERCOSUR and their ties with the European Union.
