The 19 December saw the Act of Recognition of the representatives of the Ambassadors Programme of the Catalan Tourism Agency and the Catalonia Trade & Investment Network of Ambassadors. The reception was held in the Sant Jordi Hall of the Palau de la Generalitat and brought together more than 100 ambassadors, who received an emblem of gratitude for their work from the President of the Generalitat, Carles Puigdemont. The act also had the participation of the Minister for Business and Knowledge, Jordi Baiget.

During his institutional speech, Carles Puigdemont thanked all the ambassadors for their “work, dedication and personal commitment to the good of Catalonia” and highlighted their professional talent. “You are people who earn respect and who respect others”, emphasises the president of the Generalitat, who encouraged those attending to continue in their task of recommending Catalonia, which is, in his opinion, “productive for business” and which is “worth investing in”.

After the speeches and the awarding of the emblems, there was time for networking between the attendees in the same Sant Jordi Hall, which closed an act of well-deserved gratitude for the more than 130 Ambassadors who already form part of the programme promoted by the Catalunya Convention Bureau.
