MADRID: A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between The Diplomats Nepal and Spain’s Royal Academy of Diplomacy was formally signed in Madrid, marking a significant step in enhancing media cooperation, information diplomacy, and youth engagement between the two nations.
The agreement was signed by Santiago Velo de Antelo, Presidente Ejecutivo of the Academia de la Diplomacia, and Dr Sarmila Parajuli Dhakal, President of The Diplomat Nepal by Ambassador’s Club and Former Ambassador of Nepal to Spain and Oman. The signing took place during a high-level visit that included interactions with diplomats, members of the Spanish government, representatives from the Academia de la Diplomacia, leading think tanks, and the Nepali diaspora in Madrid and Barcelona.
The visit underscored the growing friendship between Nepal and Spain, and the shared commitment to building enduring ties through diplomacy, dialogue, and mutual respect. Dr Sarmila also paid a courtesy visit to CIDOB – Barcelona Centre for International Affairs, one of Europe’s leading think tanks in the field of international relations.
The delegation extended thanks to Shanil Nepal, Ambassador of Nepal to Spain, Pushpa Tiwari, for their hospitality.
By joining forces with The Diplomat Nepal by Ambassador’s Club — a dynamic platform telling Nepal’s stories to the world—the two institutions signal that diplomacy today belongs not only to ministries and embassies but also to civil society, scholars, cultural leaders, and everyday people.
With cultural diplomacy rising as a soft power tool worldwide, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to peace, dialogue, and global citizenship.
