Diplomatic relations

Spain established diplomatic relations with the Republic of Guinea on February 10 of 1965.[4]

The opening of the Spanish Embassy in Conakry is an important milestone in relations between the two countries. The first resident Ambassador presents Credentials on 12-14-2007 and proceeds to the opening of the Foreign Ministry on 15-2-2008. The opening of the Embassy of Guinea in Madrid in 2009 was a reinforcement of bilateral relations. In 2013, Guinea appointed its first Ambassador to Spain.[4]

Cooperation

Spanish cooperation begins in the country as a result of the implementation of the Action Plan of the Euro-African Conference on Migration of Rabat. After the visit of the MAEC in October 2006, Spain acquires the commitment to carry out a cooperation program with the country for a total of 5 million euros. This commitment was the starting point for Spanish Cooperation in the country, being reaffirmed by the incorporation of Guinea into the 2009-2012 Master Plan as a group B country (focused association). The aid pledged by Spain in Guinea between 2008 and 2013 exceeded €27 million. Some multilateral projects channeled through the World Bank and ECOWAS.[5]
