Foreign Ministers of the League of Arab State agreed in 2004 that on December 4th it was to be celebrated the Day of the Arab Expatriate, aimed to highlight the role this collective is deploying at every level, with its contributions to the prosperity of the Spanish society and the cohesion to preserve its cultural legacy.
This community presence in Spain reflects the deep of the existing historian and civilization links between the Arab world and Spain, which constitute a solid communication bridge between both and they consolidate and diversify the privileged relations both parties aim to.
