Diplomatic relations

Since there are hardly any commercial relations and Burundi is not a priority country for Spanish cooperation, the issues that concern Spain mainly in relation to Burundi are the situation of Burundi refugees in the fields of Tanzania (with which Spain collaborates through of contributions to FAO) and other countries in the region, as well as the rights situation Human security and security in the country, which has been significantly deteriorated in recent months and which directly affects our nationals - mostly humanitarian personnel - residing in the country.[3]

Economic relations

In 2012 Spanish exports to Burundi amounted to 0.60 million euros. In 2013, 2014 and 2015 exports amounted to less than 0.45 million. The main exported items were: mechanical devices for agriculture; coloring matter; aluminum sheets; wines and musts and optical devices.[4]

In 2012, Spain imported products worth 0.39 million euros. Imports are not recorded in 2013. In 2014 and 2015, imported products amounted to 0.20 million each year. The item of liquid crystal accessories, lasers and optical instruments, together with several drinks, concentrate almost all of this value.[4]

Cooperation

Burundi is not a priority country of Spanish cooperation, so there is no bilateral cooperation. There are various religious groups that work in Burundi. Until 2012 there was a Spanish lecturer at Ngozi University.[5]
