Iran and Spain have enjoyed amicable ties for centuries based on mutual understanding.

Speaking at the meeting in the Spanish capital at the time, Fadaei Fard expressed hope that important steps would be taken in line with expansion of ties between the two friendly nations during his tenure in Madrid.
Rodriguez, for his part, said mutual relations are in an appropriate level and underlined continuation of efforts of officials from both countries to expand bilateral ties.
The Spanish official also said Foreign Ministry and other state bodies in Spain are ready to cooperate with Iran’s new ambassador to fulfill its duties.
