Spain

After many years of fighting terrorism at home, Spain offers the Global Coalition its expertise tackling Daesh militarily, impeding the flow of foreign terrorist fighters, suppressing its financing, countering the group’s propaganda and providing assistance for the stabilization of liberated areas. Spain’s Armed Forces play a key role in the training of Iraq’s Security Forces, including its Army and Special Forces, and providing expertise in the areas of demining and countering improvised explosive devices.

“We have to be united to fight against the challenge of terrorism … which seeks to fracture, divide and create fear among society… United, we are stronger and we will fight more effectively a terror and fanaticism that attempts to threaten the rights and freedoms of all of us and ends our coexistence and our concord”.

Pedro Sánchez, President of the Government of Spain
