Kurdistan Region–Spain relations
Bilateral relations
Kurdistan Region–Spain relations are bilateral relations between Kurdistan Region[1] and Spain. Kurdistan Region is represented in Spain through a representation in Madrid since 2010,[2][3] while Spain has no representation in Kurdistan Region. When the Kurdish representation opened in Madrid, the representative Daban Shadala stated that their activities primarily focused on building confidence, trust and friendship between the two parties. These goals were accomplished according to Shadala and Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Garcia-Margallo held a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister of Kurdistan Emad Ahmad which resulted in the opening of a Spanish honorary consulate in Erbil.[4]
In 2014, Kurdish President Masoud Barzani stated that Kurdistan values its relations with Spain.[5]
