The governor of Nevada, Brian Sandoval, has been making a state visit to the Lower Basque Country, including meetings with the Basque Lehendakari, the President of Navarre, and the Deputy General of Biscay, as well as to several other institutions and businesses.
Nevada is part of the group of US states where the Basque presence is most notable. It’s not a coincidence that one of the Centers for Basque Studies that exists outside our homeland is at the University of Nevada, Reno. Also, in the last few years, the government, cultural, and business relationship have been growing stronger.
We’ve gathered a few official press releases about the trip, which we found at Diversify Nevada and on social media.
