TEHRAN – A spokesman for Islamic City Council in Isfahan said the Isfahan city council supports Barcelona’s suspension of cooperation with Tel Aviv.
According to the media communications division of Isfahan Municipality, on June 1, in response to the severance of bonds between Isfahan’s sister city and Tel Aviv, Ali Salehi wrote on her social media page:
This important step, he said, is a symbol of commitment to human rights and justice, to be conditioned on respecting the rights of the Palestinian people and human principles.
“We hope that global solidarity with the Palestinian people over genocide crime will be strengthened,” he added.
It should be noted that Barcelona is the second largest city in northeastern Spain, according to the agreement signed on January 14, 1999.
Isfahan currently has 10 sister cities, including Florence in Italy, St. Petersburg in Russia, Xi’an in China, Rasi in Romania, Yerevan in Armenia, Havana in Cuba, Friburg in Germany, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Barcelona in Spain, and Kuwait.
