Iran’s Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs Masoud Soltanifar said there are good grounds for strengthening sports cooperation between Tehran and Madrid.
“Longstanding relations between Iran and Spain can serve as a ground for establishment of cooperation in sports,” Soltanifar said during a meeting in Tehran with the Spanish ambassador Luis Felipe Fernández.
Referring to Iran’s high capacity in athletic fields like karate, taekwondo, wrestling, volleyball and wushu, he said his country is ready to share experiences with other countries including Spain.
