Diplomatic relations

Spain maintains diplomatic relations with the Republic of Botswana since April 29 of 1981. Relationships are considered good but limited: low presence of Spaniards in the country, little relevant bilateral trade, and reduced number of trips and high-level visits.[4]

Economic relations

On a commercial level, Spanish exports have rarely exceeded the 0.01% share of total Spanish exports, in addition to being characterized by their lack of regularity. As an exception, in 2009 they experienced a spectacular increase thanks to the sale by EADS-CASA of two CN-235 aircraft to the Botswana government. As for the Spanish imports from Botswana, these are also scarce and represent a minimum part of the total Spanish imports.[5]

Cooperation

There are no Spanish development cooperation programs or projects with Botswana.[6]
