Madrid, Nov 25, IRNA – Spanish government, in a statement on Sunday, welcomed agreement on Iran's nuclear program and felicitated President Hassan Rohani on his commitment and bravery to achieve the agreement. In the Spanish Foreign Ministry statement, the role of EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton in achieving the agreement between Iran and world powers has been described as prominent. The statement called nuclear agreement on Sunday morning in Geneva as an important progress in ties between international community with Iran which will strengthen stability and security in the region.
