Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade

I meet regularly with my foreign minister colleagues at the monthly Foreign Affairs Council meetings including with my Spanish counterpart with whom I have excellent working relations.

I have no immediate plans to meet the Spanish Minister outside the Council framework at this juncture.
