Secretary of State for Democratic Memory, Madrid
The Secretary of State for Democratic Memory, Fernando Martínez, has held a telematic meeting with the president of the Spanish-Chinese Promotion and Exchange Association, Chen Qun, for the commemoration, in 2021, of the 85th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War.
This association has offered the Secretary of State the possibility of collaborating in the dissemination of the exhibition The International Brigades and Chinese volunteers in the Spanish Civil War, which was already exhibited last year in Seville, Malaga and Huelva.
The exhibition includes a series of photographs distributed in 48 panels that show a very little known aspect of the Spanish Civil War: the participation of Chinese citizens in the International Brigades that fought alongside the Government of the Republic against the coup plotters.
The Secretary of State has expressed his agreement on the possibility of exhibiting the exhibition in Madrid and completing it with the organization of two round tables, one referring to the 85th anniversary of the war in Spain and the other to the 48th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Spain.
