Felipe VI accumulates 35 international trips in his first 1,000 days of reign

 

The Diplomat. 14/03/2017

 

Felipe VI has been reigning for one thousand days in which he has promoted the transparency and austerity of the Crown, he has promoted its opening to all sectors of society and he has faced institutional challenges, such as a long and unprecedented political standstill and the growing pro-independent bet in Catalonia.

 

His international agenda in this period has already accumulated 35 trips since he visited the Vatican, barely ten days after his proclamation. Among these trips are two Ibero-American Summits, the last three UN Assemblies General and three visits of State (France, Mexico and Portugal), which will soon be five with those to Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as the meeting with Barack Obama at the Oval Office of the White House.
