Julio Herraiz España
I am pleased to welcome you to the website of the Embassy of Spain in the Republic of Korea, a country with which we have shared a lasting friendship spanning 75 years of diplomatic relations, an anniversary we celebrate in 2025.
This is a friendship that we intend to strengthen by deepening our bilateral relations in all areas, while projecting our mutual trust in international cooperation to address the multiple and complex challenges of the contemporary world.
Supported by shared values such as democracy, the rule of law, and a rules-based international order, we have a horizon with very attractive potential for the future.
Our trade and investment relations can more ambitiously reflect the size of our economies, with a very favourable environment for technological development and innovation. Spain also offers an increasingly appreciated language and culture in Korea, as evidenced by the opening of the Cervantes Institute and the growing number of tourists visiting us.
I wish to extend my warmest greetings to the entire Spanish community in this country and, with the respect and admiration they inspire in us, to all our South Korean friends. We are at your disposal in Seoul, in the central Hannam neighborhood, in addition to the honorary consulate in Busan and our X and Facebook accounts.
