ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The Spanish group Gautama del Campo performed at an evening of flamenco music and dance at Erbil’s citadel Friday evening to celebrate the National Day of Spain. 

Head of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) department of foreign relations, Safeen Dizayee, attended and praised the “great Spanish music and fabulous flamenco performance.” 

Madrid intends to open a consulate in Erbil, Ambassador Pedro Martinez-Avial said when he met Prime Minister Masrour Barzani last month, saying he would like to see increased trade and investment ties between the Kurdistan Region and Spain. 

In an interview with Rudaw, Martinez-Avial said there are many areas where Spain can help Iraq, including through constructing infrastructure like railways to improve the industry and transportation sectors.
