Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged to strengthen bilateral relations during talks in Beijing, highlighting concerns about increasing global instability. The meeting took place during Sánchez’s official visit to China from April 11 to 15.
Both leaders emphasized the need for closer cooperation between China and Europe, particularly as challenges to multilateralism grow. Xi described the current international environment as a “crumbling” order, while Sánchez stressed the importance of reinforcing global partnerships to maintain stability and economic development.
Spain has been one of the European countries advocating for stronger engagement with China, viewing it as a strategic partner rather than solely a geopolitical rival. During the visit, discussions also focused on trade imbalances, with Spain seeking to reduce its significant deficit by expanding exports, particularly in agriculture, and increasing economic cooperation.
The talks come at a time when several Western nations are reassessing their relationships with China amid shifting global alliances and concerns over U.S. foreign policy direction. Sánchez is among a number of European leaders who have visited China in recent months to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties.
The meeting underscores a broader trend of countries seeking to adapt to evolving geopolitical conditions through diversified partnerships and renewed emphasis on multilateral cooperation.
