MADRID Jan. 7 () –
The president of Mauritania, Mohamed Uld Ghazuani, began a private visit to Spain this Monday, which has not given more details in this regard, although it is a key partner for both the Spanish Government and the European Union in the fight against irregular migration and within the framework of containing the threat posed by jihadist terrorism in the Sahel.
“Ghazuani left (the capital) Nouakchott this afternoon for the Kingdom of Spain as part of a private visit,” reads a brief statement published by the media office of the Mauritanian Presidency through its profile on the social network Facebook. .
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, visited Ghazuani in August 2024, at which time he announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with this country for circular migration projects – temporary hiring of workers for certain sectors – and the reinforcement of collaboration in matters of security and the fight against organized crime.
Sánchez highlighted the “excellent moment” that bilateral relations are going through and that will be reinforced with the celebration of the first High Level Meeting (RAN) with this North African country, which will take place in Mauritania. Spain only holds this type of bilateral summits with a few countries, including Morocco and Algeria.
