Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will pay a five-day official visit to China starting on Saturday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has announced.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Wednesday that Sanchez”s visit, his fourth to China in four years, will be the latest high-level exchange between the two countries following last year’s visits by both the Spanish prime minister and king.
During the visit, Chinese leaders will discuss bilateral relations and issues of common concern with Sanchez.
Mao said Spain, a member of the European Union, is an important partner of China, and that China-Spain relations have developed at a high-level in recent years, with practical cooperation across various fields delivering tangible benefits to the two peoples.
China sees the visit as an opportunity to further deepen strategic mutual trust, enhance cooperation, strengthen multilateral coordination, and push bilateral ties to a new level, Mao said, adding that the two countries can contribute more to world peace and stability.
