On Wednesday, Queen Letizia attended the “Seeds for a sustainable future” conference hosted by the BBVA Microfinance Foundation in Madrid. The event highlighted the transformative role of cocoa and that of small and medium-sized enterprises in combating poverty, creating employment, and facilitating opportunities and progress for people.

In her speech, Queen Letizia said: “This organization brings us together once again to make us aware that there are currently 3 million people, 3 million small entrepreneurs, who live in the five Latin American countries where this Foundation operates and who get ahead every day because someone believed in them and supported them in their idea of ​​starting a micro-enterprise. 3 million people in vulnerable situations who are progressing and who manage to get an education and whose daughters and sons also have the opportunity to study thanks to microcredits from the BBVA Microfinance Foundation. Let us not forget that, according to the United Nations, MSMEs generate 70 percent of global employment.”

Queen Letizia wore a black coat with a repeated dress, Magrit pumps, and her Carolina Herrera bag. She paired the outfit with her Singularu earrings and her Coreterno ring.
