Queen Letizia on Day 3 of Spanish Cooperation trip to Mauritania

2/6/2022

Queen Letizia is currently on a Spanish Cooperation trip to the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. She began her final day in the Northwest African country with a visit to "Queen Letizia Center for Agricultural Innovation" located on the Nouakchott Region plot. It was set up for the promotion of food security and employment.

Her Majesty then visited the Emergency Medical Care Service Center (SAMU) in the capital to learn about the project to set up a centralized emergency medical response, which until now did not exist in Mauritania.

The Spanish Queen has also visited the Zayed Center for care of childhood autism, promoted by the First Lady of Mauritania, Mariem Mohamed Fadel Dah.

The Cooperation Tour concluded with a farewell lunch offered by the First Lady at the Presidential Palace in Nouakchott.

Queen Letizia's outfit was a repeat of the past few days so there's not much to discuss on the sartorial front. The shades worn today are the Carolina Herrera New York black cat-eye sunglasses with gold rim and arms.
