As part of his official visit to Spain, President Fernandez has visited Seville, where he called for the building of a 21st Century agenda between Andalusia and the DR. He met with the head of the Andalusia regional government, Jose Antonio Grinan and with the Mayor of Seville, Alfredo Sanchez Monteseirin. "Seville is a city that has traditional cultural ties with Latin America and especially with the Dominican Republic, so to start this program is to strengthen these historic and friendship ties", said Grinan
This is the first time a Dominican President has visited Andalusia, as Fernandez pointed out. During his visit to Seville, Fernandez signed a memorandum of understanding on behalf of his think tank the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development and the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean foundation to work closely on activities that contribute to the promotion of democratic practices and values.
During his visit to Seville, the President attended the inauguration of the exhibition, "Spanish Refugees in the DR 1939-1940" organized by the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation's Center for Andalusian Studies.
On another stop of his visit to several Spanish cities, President Leonel Fernandez received the keys to the city of San Fernando in the Spanish province of Cadiz. The ceremony was held at Teatro de Las Cortes de San Fernando, where the 1812 Spanish Constitution was signed. San Fernando Mayor Manuel Maria de Bernardo hosted the ceremony. This was the last day of Fernandez's official visit to Spain. Fernandez was accompanied by First Lady Margarita Cedeno. Fernandez said he would remember this day because of the warm reception he received and because of the significance of the location.
