The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The fruitful achievements of pragmatic cooperation between China and the West have promoted the economic development and improvement of people's livelihoods in both countries

On October 13th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked, how does China view the current China Spain relations after the news of Spanish Foreign Minister Alvarez's visit to China was just released?

Lin Jian stated that Spain is an important strategic partner of China in Europe. In recent years, China and the West have maintained close high-level exchanges, continuously consolidated political mutual trust, and achieved fruitful results in practical cooperation, promoting economic development and improving people's livelihoods in both countries.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and the West. During Foreign Minister Alvarez's visit to China, both sides will have in-depth exchanges of views on China West relations and international and regional issues of common concern. I believe this visit will play an important role in deepening mutual understanding and support between the two countries, and promoting the high-level development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and the West.
