During the meeting, both sides discussed issues of mutual interests such as political, economic, regional and international issues.

Iranian and Spanish diplomats also discussed regional developments especially future of Syria, massacre of civilians in Yemen, the recent development in the Persian Gulf and issues related to the terrorist groups like Daesh.
