The meeting between the two leaders came shortly after President Sanchez arrived in New Delhi to participate in the prestigious summit. The Spanish President was accorded a warm welcome at the airport by Minister of State for Skills Development and Entrepreneurship Jayant Singh.
Describing his recent meeting with state representatives as "fantastic" and "profitable," Guimerans highlighted the untapped potential of Madhya Pradesh for Spanish audiences and emphasised the shared goal of promoting film as both an industry and a driver of tourism under the new MoU.
"Food, films, and football all connect us through strong people-to-people ties. I am happy that India and Spain have decided to celebrate the year 2026 as the India-Spain Year of Culture, Tourism, and AI..." PM Modi said.
Taking to 'X', Sánchez said, "This afternoon I have tested positive for COVID and will not be able to travel to New Delhi for the G20 Summit. I feel fine."
