Li Qiang pointed out that in the current context of weak global economic recovery and sluggish trade and investment, China and the West can strengthen the alignment of development strategies, fully leverage their complementary economic advantages, create more highlights and new growth points for pragmatic cooperation, and promote common development and prosperity. China is willing to continuously unleash the potential of bilateral trade with Spain, continuously increase growth, and promote structural optimization. China supports more capable Chinese enterprises to invest in Spain, expand production and supply chain cooperation in fields such as photovoltaics, green hydrogen, and power batteries, and explore future industrial cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence. I hope Spain can create a fair and predictable market environment for Chinese companies. Both parties can also work together to explore third-party markets, deepen cultural exchanges and cooperation, and further stimulate the vitality of the tourism industry. China and Spain are both supporters and beneficiaries of economic globalization and free trade. China is willing to strengthen coordination and cooperation with Spain to jointly maintain the global economic and trade order and defend international fairness and justice. I hope Spain will continue to play an active role in deepening China Europe cooperation.
Spain firmly adheres to the One China policy and is willing to continue to be a reliable partner of China. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries. Spain is willing to closely engage in high-level exchanges with China, strengthen the alignment of development strategies, expand mutually beneficial cooperation in trade, investment, technology, green energy and other fields, and promote cultural exchanges in tourism, culture, education, language and other areas. Spain is willing to play an active role in promoting the stable development of EU China relations.
