The King and Queen will travel to Melilla tomorrow for the first time after reaffirming their Spanish identity from Ceuta.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain are scheduled to make their first official visit to Melilla on Wednesday, following a visit to Ceuta. The royal couple is expected to receive a large public welcome in Melilla, mirroring the reception in Ceuta, where they also expressed solidarity following a massive influx of migrants.

During their visit to the North African territories, King Felipe VI emphasized the non-negotiable, indisputable, and inalienable Spanish sovereignty of both Ceuta and Melilla. Furthermore, the monarch highlighted that both Spain and the European Union share the will and responsibility to maintain relations, while also noting a desire for positive relations with neighboring Morocco.
