Yesterday, December 4, the document ‘Armada 2050’ was presented at the conference hall of the Spanish Navy Headquarters.

The event was chaired by the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, accompanied by the Chief of Staff of the Spanish Navy (AJEMA), Admiral General Antonio Piñeiro Sánchez, and was attended, among other authorities, by the Secretary of State for Defense, the Undersecretary of Defense and the Secretary General for Defense Policy.

The AJEMA, in his introductory remarks, outlined the main guidelines of the document highlighting that it represents the Armada's long-term strategic perspective, designed to adapt to an increasingly complex and uncertain environment. He emphasized the need to adapt to a complex environment through planning aligned with national and international strategies, highlighting the collaboration with industry, universities and society, as well as the Armada's commitment to its personnel and its traditional values.
