The 2010 Seoul summit decided that only Spain would attend as a permanent guest. This status provides the country with access to contacts and information. Madrid has always shown its commitment to multilateralism in international relations. Spanish society has strongly advocated the achievement of unity in the EU and deeper political integration. The political and financial elite of the parliamentary monarchy is convinced that most of the transnational challenges of our time, such as economic globalization, financial instability, climate change, separatism and terrorism, mass migration and cyber security, must be resolved only through the strengthening of international cooperation.
