The ambassador of Spain to Romania is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Republic of Romania. It is also accredited to the Republic of Moldova.

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

• Romania: The Embassy of Spain in Bucharest is responsible for diplomatic relations with Romania and Moldova, and its Consular Section provides consular services to both nations. In addition, Spain has honorary consulates in Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara. ^[3]

The ambassador is also accredited to:

• Moldova: Both countries established diplomatic relations on 31 January 1992. ^[4] Initially, relations between Moldova and Spain were handled through the Embassy in Moscow, but since 1998 they have been the responsibility of Bucharest. Spain has a chargé d'affaires and an honorary consul in Chișinău. ^[3]
