Spain’s monarchs King Juan Carlos and his wife Queen Sofia are expected to visit T&T by the end of the year, a television news report said last evening.
An official from the Spanish Embassy reportedly confirmed yesterday that preparations were already underway for the high-profile visit.
The monarchs, who are expected to be accompanied by a large entourage, were said to have been personally invited to this country for a state visit by Prime Minister Patrick Manning.
The PM reportedly met King Juan Carlos when he visited London and Spain in December 2003 at the invitation of Spanish energy producers Repsol.
The week-long historic visit is expected to cement trade links between T&T and Spain.
