Xi's visit will be a fresh starting point for the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two sides to open a new chapter.
Noting that China and Spain "have a great interest in cooperation in the fields of aerospace, biomedicine and others," Lyu said the freight train between China's small commodity hub Yiwu and Spain's capital Madrid, which was put into service in November 2017, has become an important bridge of interconnectivity across the Eurasian continent, and also an early achievement of the BRI construction.
Investments from Chinese companies have rapidly increased in Spain in recent years, with a stock of more than 2.3 billion U.S. dollars, covering sectors including energy, agriculture, finance, logistics, telecommunications and infrastructure.
The bilateral trade volume has grown from 12 million dollars at the beginning of establishment of diplomatic ties to over 30.9 billion dollars in 2017.
China is now Spain's largest trading partner outside the EU, while Spain is the sixth biggest trading partner of China within the EU.
China expects more high-quality Spanish products in its domestic market, said Lyu, and the two sides could deepen cooperation in areas of artificial intelligence, 5G communications, smart city development, renewable energy, biomedicine and aerospace technology.
Lyu said the first China International Import Expo (CIIE) held in Shanghai in early November provides Spain with a great opportunity to expand her exports to China, and hopes that the Spanish government could make the CIIE a platform to further explore and adapt to the Chinese market, promoting the exports of agricultural products, advanced services and technologies, as well as high-value-added products to China.
