This year marks significant milestones for both countries—the 20th anniversary of their comprehensive strategic partnership and the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union. These anniversaries provide a unique opportunity to deepen collaboration and achieve noticeable results in their bilateral relations.
China is inviting more Spanish companies to explore its expansive market, especially in cutting-edge fields like the digital economy and artificial intelligence. This move opens doors for young entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts, providing opportunities for innovation and shared growth.
Emphasizing the interconnected nature of today’s world, both ministers agreed on the importance of promoting democracy in international relations and building a global consensus. They believe that by practicing true multilateralism, countries can work together to address common challenges.
Spain reaffirmed its commitment to multilateralism and expressed its readiness to cooperate with China to uphold the authority of the United Nations. Together, they aim to advance the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, focusing on goals that resonate with young people, such as climate action, quality education, and reduced inequalities.
