Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez arrived in Nouakchott on Wednesday for a one-day working visit and was received at the airport by Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani.
The visit focuses primarily on tackling irregular migration and enhancing regional security, more than a year after Spain and Mauritania signed a key agreement aimed at curbing the flow of migrants, both African and foreign nationals, attempting to reach Spain via Mauritanian coasts aboard wooden or rubber boats.
The leaders are also expected to discuss expanded cooperation in investment, fisheries, and private sector partnerships. Sánchez is accompanied by a high-level delegation that includes six ministers, among them the interior and foreign ministers, as well as a large contingent of Spanish business leaders.
The visit underscores Spain’s growing emphasis on strategic partnerships in West Africa to address shared challenges and foster economic collaboration.
