His work led him to come into contact with Spanish authorities at the highest of levels.

At the same time, in his facet as a poet, he presented a book of poetry in Spain titled “It Could Not Have Been,” and he actively promoted and played a role in many events related with promoting culture between the two countries.
 
The homage will include attendance by the head of the Arab ambassadors, Musa Amer Odeh, Ambassador Alfaqeeh’s widow, Rabeea Ben Ahmed, the director of Casa Árabe, Pedro Villena, and Iraqi poet Abdul Hadi Sadoun.
