Many of the Iranians who reside in Madrid, along with other high-ranking guests from around the world attended the celebration on Friday.
During the event, the Iranian ambassador to Spain Morteza Saffari Natanzi highlighted Tehran’s historic ties with Madrid, adding that “the Iranians have a very positive view” of the Spaniards and their country.
He also expressed hope that the Islamic Republic would build strong relations with the government of newly-elected Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.

The Iranian nation under the guidance of the late Imam Khomeini toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 33 years ago, ending the 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country.
The anniversary of founder of Iran’s Islamic revolution Imam Khomeini’s return to the country on February 1, 1979, marks the beginning of the Ten Days of Dawn celebrations, which culminate on February 11 — the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
