The board of directors was attended by the members of the Foundation, which supports and partially funds academic activity, including directors of the country’s leading companies, personalities from academia and notable politicians.
The director of the RAE, Santiago Muñoz Machado, emphasized “the significant intensification” of diplomatic relations with the governments of Spanish-speaking countries and with their academies that have been carried out this year. He also mentioned the strategic alliance with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of the Government of Spain, always “with the aim of achieving a new pan-Hispanism, more open and inclusive, close to the citizenry”.
This year, the RAE has consolidated the improvement of its major works, including the ‘Dictionary of the Spanish Language’, the ‘Historical Dictionary of the Spanish Language’ and the ‘Pan-Spanish Dictionary of Legal Spanish’.
