He also proposed strengthening cultural ties and people-to-people exchanges, including expanding student exchange programs to foster mutual understanding.
Highlighting shared values, Xi noted that both China and Spain advocate for multilateralism and open cooperation. He urged both countries to support a fair global governance system, uphold world peace and security, and promote common development.
Prime Minister Sanchez praised the consistent mutual respect and friendly cooperation that has defined bilateral relations over the past 20 years. He reaffirmed Spain’s commitment to the one-China policy and said his country values its relationship with China.
Sanchez expressed Spain’s desire to expand cooperation in various fields and maintain high-level exchanges. He also reaffirmed Spain’s support for stable and constructive relations between the European Union and China.
