“We want to strengthen the relationship with Spain, we want those who live and work in the United Kingdom to stay and that there are more and more Spanish investors in the United Kingdom,” said the diplomat during his speech at an event organized by Madrid Business Forum.
“We have a very important commercial relationship with Spain, what we are doing above all is listening to Spanish companies, their concerns and ideas, because what we want is for the relationship between our two countries to continue growing in the years to come”, he pointed out, expressing London wants to listen to the suggestions of Spanish companies to continue being the main European destination of Spanish investment abroad.
