In keeping with these principles, the Princess of Asturias Award for International Cooperation shall be conferred on those “whose work with another or others in areas such as public health, universal education, environmental protection and social and economic development, among others, constitutes an outstanding contribution at the international level”.
Twenty seven candidatures from Cuba, Germany, France, Ireland, India, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, South Africa, South Korea, Sudan, Switzerland, the United States and Spain, have been nominated for this award.
