As per tradition, the Embassy of Monaco in Spain held a reception on 26 June in honour of the anniversary of H.S.H. Prince Albert II's accession to the throne. Around 200 people, including representatives of the Spanish authorities and embassies, the Consuls of Monaco in Spain and various Spanish artists and public figures, came together to mark the 20th anniversary of the Sovereign Prince's accession to the throne.

The Ambassador spoke about the highlights of H.S.H. Prince Albert II's 20-year reign, mentioning how the Sovereign's involvement in environmental protection and development aid has placed the Principality prominently on the international stage.

Finally, she pointed out that Monaco and Spain share a common history spanning over five centuries and that 2026 will mark the 150th anniversary of Monaco's diplomatic representation in Spain. This anniversary will be an opportunity to strengthen the cooperative relationship and friendly ties shared with Spain, based on common values such as the defence of human rights, environmental protection, sustainable development, sport and international cooperation.
