Their Majesties the King and Queen, accompanied by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, will undertake their first State visit to Finland from 5 to 7 October, with visits to Helsinki and Rovaniemi.
The State visit forms part of Spain’s commitment to strategic autonomy and the security and defence of Europe across all its borders, with a 360-degree approach, including the Arctic and the Baltic, as well as the close collaboration between the two countries in the political, economic, defence, cultural and scientific spheres. It also provides an opportunity to further strengthen the excellent bilateral relations that bind the two countries, which are partners in the European Union and allies in NATO.
