Albares said that relations between Spain and the United Kingdom are going through "one of their best periods." He noted that the agreement reached on Gibraltar and the removal of the border crossing demonstrated that dialogue, cooperation, and multilateralism improve the lives of citizens.

Albares said that he and the United Kingdom's new Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, agreed to strengthen economic and people-to-people ties and announced the signing of a joint declaration supporting cooperation on climate action and energy.

Albares added that bilateral relations between the two countries are at their highest level and that ties between the United Kingdom and Europe, as well as international cooperation, will continue to be strengthened.
