Foreign Policy

Spain's foreign policy rests on EU membership, NATO participation, and deep ties with Latin America (through Ibero-American summits and the SEGIB). It maintains special relationships with Morocco (complex, involving Ceuta, Melilla, and Western Sahara) and has significant economic interests in North Africa.

Spain does not recognize Kosovo's independence, consistent with its position against Catalan separatism. It champions multilateralism and has been an active contributor to UN peacekeeping, particularly in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

MUN Delegate Guide

As Spain, leverage your Hispanophone network to build coalitions across Latin America -- this is your unique diplomatic multiplier. Coordinate with EU and NATO allies on European issues.

Oppose Kosovo recognition to maintain consistency with your Catalonia position -- build alliances with Russia, China, Greece, and others on this. Push for Latin American engagement in global governance. Lead on Mediterranean migration and development. Your democratic transition experience is valuable for countries in political evolution.
