Together with our liberal partners, we develop formats and campaigns to promote rule of law, free markets and human rights. Moreover, we coordinate EU co-funded projects in the field of democracy support, development cooperation and human rights protection.

    Spain's view of North Africa

    The African continent is awakening. Aware of its great diversity and also its problems, it strives to open roads and attract other countries to collaborate and join in its progress. Spain, for historical, geopolitical and cultural reasons... also looks towards Africa, towards those places bathed by the Mediterranean Sea where trade relations and investment open up new opportunities.
