Queen Letizia is scheduled to travel to Bolivia at the end of June to assess the impact of Spanish cooperation, which has accumulated four decades of uninterrupted presence in the Andean country. The trip builds on King Felipe VI's recent stopover in La Paz, seeking to strengthen institutional ties and focus on the social dimension of Spanish foreign action.
Solar drones and telemedicine: the hardware of aid 🛸
The queen's visit will highlight projects that integrate technology for rural development. The presentation of telemedicine systems with satellite connection and the use of low-cost drones to map crops in the highlands are planned. These tools, developed with cooperation funds, aim to reduce the digital divide and improve healthcare response in areas without road access.
Not a step back: the queen and the challenge of wifi in the highlands 📶
Letizia will face a challenge that not even the Royal Household had anticipated: checking whether the wifi in health centers can last more than five minutes without cutting out. Local technicians have already prepared a plan B with smoke signals and carrier pigeons, in case 4G coverage decides to take a vacation during the royal visit.
