King Felipe VI commemorates with the US at the Rota military base the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General11 September 2026 at 10:56

Felipe VI commemorated this Friday together with the United States at the Naval Base of Rota in Cádiz the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The ceremony was dedicated to the memory of the victims of these attacks that marked world history.

The king of Spain was present at this joint event with American authorities, reinforcing the bonds of friendship and cooperation between both nations. The choice of the Naval Base of Rota was not coincidental, as it is one of the main enclaves of military cooperation between Spain and the United States.

The commemoration took place in a context of close military collaboration between the two countries, a relationship that has remained solid and strategic over the decades. Rota hosts a significant American military presence on Spanish soil.

This event symbolizes the longstanding partnership between Spain and the United States in the field of defense, remaining an important milestone in the bilateral relations between the two nations.
