In the toast of the lunch offered at the Royal Palace by Philip of Borbón and Queen Letizia in honor of Moreno and his wife, Rocío González, the Ecuadorian president thanked for his part the “decided support of Spain” to the request so that his compatriots be exempted from the Schengen visa for reasons of tourism, business and cultural interest.

Before a hundred guests from the two countries, including authorities and representatives of business, academic, religious, cultural and communication, the King of Spain paid a “well-deserved tribute” to the 400,000 Ecuadorian immigrants who contribute to the prosperity of the Spanish society with its “effort” and “personal sacrifice”.
