This afternoon, Jokin Díaz Arsuaga, Director of Social Economy, welcomed a delegation from the Corsican government, led by Executive Councillor for Health Bianca Fazi, to the Basque Government headquarters in Lakua.

The Corsican delegation is interested in learning about the social economy public policies implemented in the Basque Country.

These policies demonstrate the Basque Government's dedication to the social economy as a catalyst for economic and social advancement. The meeting forms part of a visit by representatives of various institutions, the economy and health to the Basque Country. This visit coincides with the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation between the Basque Country and Corsica in 2021, which aims to promote bilateral relations and collaborations.
