Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s high-stakes China visit this week could supercharge economic partnerships, with green energy, EVs, and digital innovation taking center stage. The trip marks his second meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping since 2023 – and both leaders are ready to level up cooperation.
What’s on the Agenda?
From Sunday to Wednesday, Sanchez will meet with President Xi, Premier Li Qiang, and top legislator Zhao Leji. The packed schedule includes the China-Spain Forum and business summits aimed at boosting trade, which surged 28% to $48.6B since 2020. ‘Premium Spanish products are already winning Chinese hearts,’ says MOFCOM spokesperson He Yadong.
Green Lights for Future Deals
Spain eyes bigger roles in China’s EV and renewable energy markets, while Beijing seeks fair treatment for its companies in Europe. Remember: China is Spain’s #1 non-EU trade partner, with everything from olive oil to tech flowing between them.
Looking Back, Moving Forward
Last year’s 50th-anniversary diplomacy boom set the stage. President Xi previously urged ‘long-term strategic planning,’ while Sanchez pitched Spain as a bridge for EU-China dialogue. With new deals likely at forums like November’s CIIE Expo, this visit could reshape transcontinental trade playbooks.
