The Minister of Defense praised the professionalism and dedication of the sailors on the emblematic training ship, docked in Gij\u00f3n as part of the XCVII training cruise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the last day of her institutional visit to Gij\u00f3n, the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, has boarded the training ship 'Juan Sebasti\u00e1n de Elcano'. There, she highlighted the excellence of the Spanish Navy, affirming: \"We have the best Navy in the world\", and underlining \"the professionalism and dedication of the soldiers who are part of it\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robles was received by the ship's commander, Captain Luis Carreras-Presas, with whom she had a conversation about the training and diplomatic work carried out by the vessel. The ship is in its penultimate stop within the XCVII training cruise, after having sailed through three national ports and ten foreign ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday began with an institutional visit to Gij\u00f3n City Hall, where Robles was received by the mayor, Mar\u00eda del Carmen Moriy\u00f3n, and signed the book of honor. Later, she visited the exhibition \"Gij\u00f3n\/Xix\u00f3n. Epicenter. Photography (1858-1992)\" at the Revillagigedo Palace, before boarding the frigate 'Blas de Lezo', where she was received by the commander Pedro Jes\u00fas Ramos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During her visit to the frigate, the minister learned details about the operations carried out in June by this ship in Mediterranean waters, as part of NATO's Naval Strike and Support Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both the 'Juan Sebasti\u00e1n de Elcano' and the 'Blas de Lezo' will remain in the port of Gij\u00f3n until July 7, and will open their doors to the public between July 4 and 6, from 15:00 to 22:00 hours.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
