WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Joaquin Castro (TX-20) will succeed U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) as the seventh Honorary Chair of the United States–Spain Council, an organization focused on stimulating bilateral trade and investment between the United States and Spain. The announcement will be made public during a ceremony at Spanish Ambassador Santiago Cabanas Ansorena’s private residence in Washington, DC.
“I am honored that Senator Kaine has asked me to join such a prestigious group of honorary chairs.As Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I know how important and significant our relationship with Spain is,” said Chairman Castro. “I look forward to building on Senator Kaine’s success and further strengthening our country’s relationship with Spain.”
Congressman Castro will share the title of honorary chair once held by former Governor Bill Richardson (D-NM), former and current Senators Bob Graham (D-FL); Christopher Dodd (D-CT); Mel Martinez (R-FL); Bob Menendez (D-NJ); and Tim Kaine (D-VA), who began his tenure as Honorary Chair of the United States–Spain Council in 2013.
“I am thrilled that Joaquin Castro will take the helm of the United States–Spain Council,” said Senator Kaine. “As a citizen from San Antonio, Joaquin is familiar with the strong cultural and historic relationship between our nations. He will bring passion, experience and drive to help the Council further this relationship and bolster our two countries’ economic, diplomatic, and defense ties. He is the right leader at the right time.”
The United States–Spain Council is a non-profit organization created by former U.S. Vice President Albert Gore and former Spanish President José María Aznar in 1996 to build stronger relationships between the public and private sectors in both countries.
Each year since its creation, the Council has worked in tandem with the Fundación Consejo España–Estados Unidos, its Spanish counterpart, to organize an annual forum where prominent government officials, corporate executives, and nonprofit leaders from both countries gather to discuss current affairs and topics of mutual interest.
This year’s United States–Spain Forum will be held in San Antonio, Texas, which is also the hometown of Honorary Chair, Joaquin Castro.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington, DC: United States – Spain Council Honorary Chairman Senator Tim Kaine received the Knights Grand Cross of the Order of Isabel la Católica on Tuesday, February 27th at a reception at the Spanish Ambassador’s Residence in Washington, DC. Bestowed by Spanish Ambassador Pedro Morenés, the Order recognizes Senator Kaine’s unique contribution to the Spanish nation and the people of Spain.
Founded by King Ferdinand VII in 1815, the Order recognizes extraordinary behavior of civil character which contributes to strengthening the relations between Spain and the International Community. Senator Kaine received the Grand Cross, the highest possible grade given to non-heads of state.
“Much of the excellent shape in which the US-Spain relations are is due to the leadership, work, and boundless energy of Senator Kaine and his team,” said Ambassador Pedro Morenés.
“I am humbled and honored to receive this award,” said Senator Kaine. “Throughout my tenure as Honorary Chairman of the United States – Spain Council, I have strived to enhance the relationship between the United States and Spain. This honor is a testament to the strength of the bilateral relationship and the continued friendship between our two countries.”
Founded in 1996, the United States Spain Council is a unique organization in which U.S. and Spanish business leaders, top government officials, and leaders in education and culture promote stronger ties between the two countries.
The United States – Spain Council remains committed to enhancing the bilateral ties between the United States and Spain. Under Senator Kaine’s leadership, the United States – Spain Council has strengthened the organization’s stature, presence, and membership.
Those systems enable tasks both simple and complex, from uploading photos and searching webpages to conducting banking transactions and managing air-travel logistics. Most people are aware of their daily dependency on the internet, but few understand the critical role played by the subsea networks spanning the planet in providing that connectivity.
The importance of those networks was underscored when Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast of the U.S. in October 2012. The superstorm devastated coastal communities, caused billions of dollars in damage and shut down wireless, internet and home phone service for days. Flooding knocked out servers, shut down websites and disrupted connectivity across sectors, from electronic trading to online media, affecting transatlantic communications connecting some of the world’s largest economies.
“It was a major disruption,” says Frank Rey, director of global network strategy for Microsoft’s Cloud Infrastructure and Operations division. “The entire network between North America and Europe was isolated for a number of hours. For us, the storm brought to light a potential challenge in the consolidation of transatlantic cables that all landed in New York and New Jersey.”
Washington, DC – After an extensive review process, the United States – Spain Council is thrilled to announce the 2017 Young Leaders Program Cohort.
These ten young professionals have the unique opportunity to travel to Madrid and Bilbao, Spain for a week-long immersion program in Spanish culture, including meetings with Spanish government and business leaders, in-depth cultural tours, and conversations with fellow young Spanish leaders.
In Madrid, the Cohort will enjoy exclusive tours of several cultural highlights, meet the European Council on Foreign Relations and The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, have an in-depth presentation at the United States Embassy in Spain, and converse directly with Spanish business leaders.
The Cohort will continue their journey to Bilbao to enjoy a personal tour of the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum and meet with local government and Spanish business leaders.
Launched in 2001, this annual Program brings ten young American leaders to Spain to familiarize them with the social, cultural, economic, and political realities of contemporary Spain and to foster a stronger understanding between Spain and The United States. Since then the program has hosted 160 young leaders representing federal and state government agencies, innovative businesses and corporations, and community organizations.
“When the United States strengthens ties with our allies around the world, we strengthen our standing on the world stage and our role in leading the global economy,” said United States – Spain Council Honorary Chair U.S. Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia. “I congratulate these young leaders from across the U.S. for their selection for this program, and I am excited about the strong bonds they will forge with Spanish leaders and the Spanish people during their experience in Madrid and Bilbao.

U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, Honorary Chair United States-Spain Council, and Hon. José Manuel Entrecanales, Chairman of Fundación Consejo España-Estados Unidos Hosted XXII U.S.-Spain Forum in Williamsburg, Virginia
WILLIAMSBURG, VA — The United States-Spain Council and its Spanish counterpart, Fundación Consejo España-Estados Unidos, celebrated this weekend the XXII U.S.-Spain in the colonial city of Williamsburg, Virginia. The weekend forum brought together leaders and officials from both countries such as U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis; Spain’s Defense Minister María Dolores de Cospedal García; Spain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Alfonso María Dastis, and dozens of business leaders from both nations to address economic issues, including infrastructure investments, tourism and national security, among others.
Following are excerpts from the inaugural addresses by U.S. Senator and United States-Spain Council Honorary Chair Tim Kaine and Chairman of Fundación Consejo España-Estados Unidos, Hon. José Manuel Entrecanales.
Excerpts from Sen. Kaine’s remarks:
“The world has many a challenge…and yet we come together as Spaniards and Americans to take a relationship that is strong to make it stronger. I’m so glad to welcome so many old friends and new friends as well. I think you’re going to find this to be a marvelous weekend.”
Sen. Kaine provided information on the historical relevance of Williamsburg, Virginia and highlighted how Spanish cooperation dates back to the Revolutionary War.
“[We are in Virginia’s] historic triangle. Jamestown, [the] European, English-speaking settling of the United States began in 1607, 32 years after [the] Spanish permanent settlement in St. Augustine, Florida. So Jamestown is critically important. Williamsburg was the colonial capital of Virginia and also the home of the College of William and Mary, the second oldest college in our country. And we’re very close to Yorktown where America won the Revolutionary War with the support and help of many Spaniards, including General Bernardo de Galvez.”
Referencing the XXII U.S.-Spain Forum’s main topics, he talked about the important cultural ties that unite both countries around tourism, food, and wine. Sen. Kaine also highlighted the importance of both nations’ participation in NATO and their long-standing history of cooperation on matters of national security.
“Today’s world alliances are becoming more important. And just as we have grappled with our security needs, whether they be abroad or domestic terrorist attacks, Spain is living the same reality. Our hearts hurt over the Barcelona attacks just a few weeks ago. We have suffered in Virginia too, in Charlottesville. Terrorism and the challenges that terrorism presents can only be defeated through stronger alliances. So, at a time when there’s been controversy in our country and possibly in Spanish and other European countries about the future of NATO, we [will] hear from key leaders about the U.S.-Spain relationship in th[is] context.”
Sen. Kaine also touched on another key topic, infrastructure, which was prominently celebrated with the inauguration of an underwater telecommunications cable that connects Bilbao, Spain with Virginia Beach.
“Telxius, a subsidiary of Telefonica; Microsoft and Facebook have a joint project that is now complete: the most advanced underwater cable in the world a telecommunications cable called Marea, the Spanish word for tide. It is done, they’re testing it, it’ll go live soon and we gathered a few miles from here today to announce this great deepening and quickening of the connection between the United States and Spain.
“We’re really in awe of the Spanish expertise in infrastructure. And, in Virginia we consider ourselves leaders in infrastructure— whether it’s public-private partnership[s] to [achieve] things that couldn’t otherwise be done, or wisely using the proceeds of a tobacco lawsuit to build out broadband in the most rural parts of [the state]. This is an area [of] natural connection between the United States and Spain and the expertise of our private sectors,” Sen. Kaine added.
Excerpts from Hon. Entrecanales’ remarks:
“President Trump’s infrastructure plan, in light of recent events, appears more urgent and necessary than ever, and Spanish infrastructure groups– which manage one third of the world’s transport infrastructure concessions– are standing by and ready to offer their expertise. ”It is my belief that infrastructure will continue to be the cornerstone of all economies. Climate change and its repercussions means that ‘what’ and ‘how we build’ will be vital to the well-being, and perhaps even survival, of our societies. Hon. Entrecanales also referenced security, another key topic of this year’s forum stating that “both our nations can work closer together to reinforce the institutions that protect our citizens and cooperate to fight the common scourge of terrorism.”
In regards to tourism, another main topic for the XXII U.S.-Spain Forum, Hon. Entrecanales said “few sectors are more relevant to the economic prosperity, the cultural exchange and the enhancement of social bonds between our two nations. In summary, few sectors are more relevant to maintaining alive and healthy our traditional values of welcoming, hospitable and multicultural societies.”
As his counterpart, Hon. Entrecanales concluded by emphasizing the importance of this forum and its goal of strengthening bilateral relationships: “I cannot underscore enough how important this Forum is in shaping the Transatlantic dialogue between our two nations. By coming together to discuss issues of common economic concern, we help build trust, understanding, and a shared view of the world.”

Senador Tim Kaine y Presidente Honorario del United States-Spain Council y el Hon. José Manuel Entrecanales, Presidente de la Fundación Consejo España-Estados Unidos Auspiciaron el XXII Foro España-Estados Unidos en Williamsburg, Virginia
WILLIAMSBURG, VA — El United States-Spain Council y su homólogo español, Fundación Consejo España-Estados Unidos, celebraron este fin de semana el XXII Foro España-Estados Unidos en la ciudad colonial de Williamsburg, Virginia. El foro de dos días convocó a líderes y funcionarios de ambas naciones tales como la Ministra de Defensa de España, María Dolores de Cospedal García; el Ministro Español de Asuntos Exteriores y Cooperación, Alfonso María Dastis; y el Secretario de Defensa de Estados Unidos, el General James Mattis; además de docenas de líderes corporativos para avanzar en temas económicos, incluyendo inversiones en infraestructura, el turismo y la seguridad, entre otros.
A continuación apartes de las palabras de apertura del Senador Estadounidense y Presidente Honorario del United States-Spain Council, Tim Kaine; y el Presidente de la Fundación Consejo España-Estados Unidos, Hon. José Manuel Entrecanales.
Apartes del discurso del Sen. Kaine:
“El mundo enfrenta muchos retos…y aún así nos reunimos, españoles y estadounidenses, para fortalecer una relación que es robusta. Me alegra recibir a tantos viejos amigos, y amistades nuevas también. Creo que la van a pasar muy bien este fin de semana”.
El Sen. Kaine habló de la importancia histórica de Williamsburg, Virginia, destacando que la cooperación española con el país data desde la Guerra Revolucionaria estadounidense.
“[Estamos en el] triángulo histórico [de Virginia]. Jamestown, [el] asentamiento europeo de habla inglesa en Estados Unidos se fundó en 1607, 32 años después asentamiento español permanente en St. Augustín, Florida. Por lo tanto, Jamestown es de gran importancia. Williamsburg era la capital colonial de Virginia y también es la sede del College of William and Mary, la segunda institución de educación superior más antigua del país. Además estamos muy cerca de Yorktown, donde Estados Unidos ganó la Guerra Revolucionaria con el apoyo y la ayuda de muchos españoles, incluyendo el General Bernardo de Gálvez”.
Haciendo alusión a los temas principales del XXII Foro España-Estados Unidos, Kaine habló de los importantes nexos culturales que ambos países comparten con relación al turismo, gastronomía y vino. El Sen. Kaine también destacó la importancia de ambas naciones en la OTAN y su larga historia de cooperación en materia de seguridad nacional.
“Las alianzas del mundo actual son cada vez más importantes. Y de la misma manera que debemos responder a nuestras necesidades en materia de seguridad, ya sean ataques terroristas domésticos e internacionales, España vive la misma realidad. Nos duele de corazón los ataque que Barcelona sufrió hace unas pocas semanas. También hemos sufrido en Virginia, en Charlottesville. El terrorismo y los retos que presenta sólo pueden ser enfrentados a través de alianzas fortalecidas. Así que en momentos de controversia en nuestro país, y posiblemente en España y otros países europeos, sobre el futuro de la OTAN, escucharemos de líderes clave sobre las relaciones entre los Estados Unidos y España en [este] contexto”.
El Sen. Kaine también se refirió a otro tema de importancia– infraestructura– que fue el foco de celebración en la inauguración de un cable de telecomunicaciones submarino que conecta a Bilbao con Virginia Beach, Virginia.
“Telxius, una subsidiaria de Telefónica; Microsoft y Facebook tienen un proyecto compartido que se ha completado: el cable submarino más avanzado en el mundo, un cable de telecomunicaciones llamado MAREA. Ya está instalado, lo están probando y pronto se comenzará entrará en servicio. Estamos a pocas millas de donde anunciamos la inauguración de esta conexión entre Estados Unidos y España, la cual está fortaleciendo la relación bilateral”.
“Nos impresiona la pericia española en el tema de infraestructura. En Virginia nos consideramos líderes en este sector— ya sean alianza[s] público-privadas para [lograr] cosas que de otra manera no se pudieran realizar o utilizando responsablemente los fondos procedentes de una demanda tabacalera para interconectar a los áreas rurales [del estado] con conexión broadband. Esta es un área [de] natural para forjar vínculos entre Estados Unidos y España y la experiencia de nuestros sectores privados”, dijo Kaine.
Apartes del discurso del Hon. Entrecanales:
“A raíz de recientes eventos, el plan de infraestructura del Presidente Trump es cada más urgente e importante que nunca. Y, los grupos españoles de infraestructura— que gestionan un tercio de las concesiones en material de transporte de infraestructura a nivel mundial— están a la espera y listos para ofrecer sus conocimientos.
“Es mi opinión que la infraestructura seguirá siendo la piedra angular de todas las economías. El cambio climático y sus efectos significan que el ‘qué’ y ‘cómo construir’ será crítico para nuestro bienestar y tal vez hasta para la supervivencia de nuestras sociedades.
Entrecanales también hizo alusión a la seguridad, un tema central para el foro de este año, afirmando que “ambas naciones pueden trabajar de manera conjunta para reforzar las instituciones que protegen a nuestros ciudadanos y cooperan en la lucha común para derrotar el terrorismo”.
Con relación al turismo, Entrecanales recalcó que “pocos sectores son más relevantes para la prosperidad económica, el intercambio cultural y el mejoramiento de los lazos sociales entre ambos países. En cuentas resumidas, pocos sectores son tan importantes a la hora de mantener vivas nuestros valores tradicionales de sociedades abiertas, y multiculturales”.
Como su homólogo, el Hon. Entrecanales cerró enfatizando la importancia del foro y su meta de mejorar relaciones bilaterales: “no puedo recalcar cuan importante este foro es a la hora de avanzar el diálogo transatlántico entre ambas naciones. Al reunirnos para discutir temas de interés económico común, ayudamos a promover la confianza, el entendimiento y una visión global”.
