Neither country has a resident diplomatic mission in each other's territories; the Spanish Embassy in Wellington, New Zealand, is accredited to Tonga. [1] Tonga does not have an embassy in Spain, nor an embassy in Europe that is accredited to it. [2]

Diplomatic relations

Spain maintains diplomatic relations with Tonga since November 16, 1979, but does not have an embassy resident in that country, which is under the jurisdiction of the Spanish Embassy in Wellington.

Economic relations

Trade between the two countries is very small. Spain imports fish and some agricultural products and exports machinery, food and other manufactures. [4]

Cooperation

Cooperation with Tonga is done through the Delegation in Suva, Fiji, of the Foreign Service of European Union. Under the Cotonou Agreement, Tonga receives assistance from European Regional Development Fund, which included assistance worth 15 million euros from 2008 to 2013. This aid focused on renewable energy (7 million €), on the impact of the economic and financial crisis through the Vulnerability-FLEX mechanism (€5.5 million), and on climate change assistance, financed through the Global Climate Change Partnership framework, including:

The 11th National Indicative Program of the European Development Fund 2014–2020, allocates 11.1 million euros for the Kingdom of Tonga of which 90% (€10 million) will be allocated to the energy sector.
