Making his fourth visit to China in four years, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will pay an official visit to China from Saturday, marking another in a series of successive visits to China by European leaders since the beginning of this year. A Chinese expert said that this visit is a natural step that underscores the Sanchez administration’s strong commitment to its relations with China.
At the invitation of Premier of the State Council Li Qiang, Sanchez will pay an official visit to China from April 11 to 15, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced on Wednesday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said during a press conference on the same day that President Xi Jinping will meet with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, and Premier Li Qiang and Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee Zhao Leji will hold talks and meet with him respectively for in-depth exchanges of views on the bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest.
The upcoming visit of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will provide another opportunity for China and Spain working together to deepen strategic mutual trust, have closer exchanges and cooperation, and step up coordination on multilateral affairs, so as to bring the China-Spain relations to a new height and make greater contribution to world peace and stability, the spokesperson added.
