He said he plans to visit the rest of the continent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We aspire to develop, in collaboration with our partners and friends in the region, a <strong>space of stability and prosperity in this vast geographical area&#8221;,<\/strong> he continued, and therefore announced the government&#8217;s objective of achieving &#8220;a more intense Euro-African concertation&#8221; that will be embodied in the <strong>Summit of the Future<\/strong>, next September, as well as in the <strong>4th Global Conference on Financing for Development<\/strong>, to be held in Spain in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He also said that &#8220;<strong>we will soon present a new strategic framework for our relations with Africa<\/strong>&#8220;, in which the key words will be &#8220;partnership and collaboration, based on mutual respect and dialogue between equals&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, he proposed to the ambassadors in attendance the search for &#8220;<strong>joint solutions to global challenges, such as climate change or digital transformation, and the construction of peace<\/strong>&#8220;. In this regard, he referred to <strong>Ukraine<\/strong> &#8211; where he condemned \u2018Russian aggression\u2019 &#8211; and the <strong>Middle East<\/strong>, in which case he justified the recent recognition of the State of Palestine as &#8220;an indispensable step towards a two-state solution and the definitive search for peace&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Casa Africa, the organisation Women for Africa and the NGO Mercy Ships Spain, among others, received <strong>recognition at the end of the event for their commitment to the African continent<\/strong>. Afterwards, the guests enjoyed a wide range of gastronomic delicacies provided by all the participating countries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_342671\"
