The Ambassador presented her credentials to the IMO Secretary-General, Arsenio Domínguez, and reaffirmed Spain's commitment to the organization and its dedication to multilateralism and the values it represents. Ambassador Aparici thus undertook the position of Spain's top representative to the IMO, a post traditionally reserved for the head of the Spanish mission in the United Kingdom.
Following the formal ceremony, the Ambassador visited the organization's headquarters and greeted the Spanish workforce.
Spain is a long-standing and prominent member of the IMO, having renewed its Presidency of the Council in November 2025.
