Spain recognized Romania's independence from the Ottoman Empire on 12 April 1880 and the following year both countries established diplomatic relations.[1] Relations were interrupted in 1947, following the abdication of King Michael I, and re-established in 1977, with the status of embassy.[2]
Jurisdiction
