“We reaffirm our commitment to expanding bilateral relations and cooperation between our countries,” the Foreign Ministry stated on its official account on the social network X.

Spain’s National Day—also known as *Dia de la Hispanidad* (Hispanic Day)—commemorates the historic arrival in the Americas of the expedition led by Christopher Columbus.

This was a momentous milestone for the country, marking the beginning of a period of linguistic and cultural expansion across the Americas.

All of this took place during the era when the modern state was taking shape.

It is a day that celebrates Spain’s history, acknowledges its achievements, and highlights the nation’s commitment to the future. The day pays tribute to unity and fraternity while strengthening Iberian ties with the international community.
