Spain–Tajikistan relations are the bilateral and diplomatic relations between these two countries. Tajikistan is accredited to Spain from its embassy in Geneva, Switzerland.[1] Spain is accredited to Tajikistan from its embassy in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.[2]
Diplomatic relations[edit]
Bilateral relations are poorly developed, but they are positive although Tajikistan has not accredited any Embassy to the Kingdom of Spain. The King Juan Carlos I and President Rahmon held a bilateral meeting in New York City in the fall of 2005. In July 2010, after the Informal Ministerial Meeting of OSCE that took place in Almaty and during his stop in Dushanbe on his way to Afghanistan, the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Moratinos, He interviewed his Tajik counterpart announcing a 3 million euro aid package for cooperation projects in Tajikistan. Finally, on 1 December 2010, the Third Vice President of the Government, Manuel Chavez met with the President of Tajikistan, Rahmon in the framework of the OSCE Summit of Astana.[2]
Spain uses an annual renewable overflight agreement that covers all state aircraft, and is very useful for our operations in Afghanistan. From October 2009 to 2012 Spain used the French military base of Dushanbé to offer logistical support to the Spanish forces in Afghanistan, within the framework of the ISAF operation. The use of that base was made possible by an agreement between NATO and Tajikistan[2]
Economic relations[edit]
Institutional relations between both countries are very scarce. Spain does not have Economic Cooperation Agreements, Financial Protocol, APPRI or Double Taxation Agreement signed with Tajikistan. For the last two, those signed with the USSR whose inheritance by succession of States was confirmed by the Declaration of Alma Ata of 1991 are theoretically in force. However, draft agreements have been exchanged to avoid double taxation and protection and promotion agreement reciprocal of investments.[3]
No direct investment or portfolio flows have been recorded in either direction since the independence of Tajikistan. Nor have there been transactions in the past for the exchange of debt investments.[3]
