習近平請桑切斯轉達對費利佩六世國王的問候。習近平指出,去年,中西共同慶祝兩國建交50週年。一年多來,雙方保持各層級密切交往互動,高品質推進新領域合作。明年是中西建立全面戰略夥伴關係20週年。雙方要秉持相互尊重、平等相待的建交初心,胸懷全局、著眼長遠,不斷豐富兩國全面戰略夥伴關係的時代內涵,打造富有戰略定力的長期穩定的中西關係,推動兩國關係邁上更高水準。

習近平強調,改革開放是中國經過長期實踐找到的一條正確發展路徑,將堅定不移走下去。中國共産黨二十屆三中全會對進一步全面深化改革、推進中國式現代化作出系統部署,這為中西兩國深化和拓展合作帶來新機遇。雙方要發揮好經貿混委會、科技聯委會等平臺作用,在人工智慧、數字經濟、新能源等高技術領域共促發展,實現互利共贏。希望西班牙繼續為中國企業赴西投資興業提供公正、公平、安全、非歧視的營商環境。雙方要堅持包容互鑒,加強語言教學、青年、文化、旅遊等人文交流,促進人民友誼。中方讚賞西班牙去年下半年擔任歐盟輪值主席國期間積極推動中歐交流合作。明年是中國同歐盟建交50週年,中方願同歐盟一道總結雙邊關係發展成功經驗,推動中歐關係發展沿著獨立自主、相互成就、造福世界的方向穩步前進。希望西班牙為此繼續發揮建設性作用。

習近平指出,當今世界變亂交織,中國和西班牙都是具有責任感和使命感的國家,都倡導多邊主義和自由貿易。中方願同西班牙擴大面向全球南方的第三方市場合作,加強在聯合國、二十國集團等國際組織中的溝通配合,為世界和平穩定和人類進步事業注入更多正能量。

桑切斯轉達費利佩六世國王對習近平主席的誠摯問候,表示很高興時隔一年再次訪華,這表明瞭西中關係的緊密程度。西中友誼源遠流長,兩國在相互尊重基礎上不斷發展深化夥伴關係。我此訪期間,雙方簽署了綠色發展等領域多項合作協議,展現了雙方合作的巨大潛力和光明前景。希望雙方加強人文交流,深化經貿、新能源汽車等領域合作,西方願為中國企業提供良好環境。西中雙方都致力於維護世界和平、捍衛多邊主義。當今世界面臨動蕩衝突、貧困、氣候變化等多重挑戰,需要國際社會加強合作,共同應對。中國是維護世界和平和發展的關鍵力量,對解決重大國際地區問題發揮著重要建設性作用。西方從戰略高度看待同中國的關係,堅定奉行一個中國政策,願做中國可以信任的夥伴,期待進一步深化西中全面戰略夥伴關係,為兩國人民福祉和世界的和平和繁榮作出更大貢獻。西方支援自由貿易和市場開放原則,不贊同打貿易戰,願繼續為促進歐中關係健康發展發揮積極作用。

雙方還就烏克蘭危機和巴以衝突等問題交換了意見。

BEIJING, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday met with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who is on an official visit to China.

Xi asked Sanchez to convey his greetings to King Felipe VI. Recalling that China and Spain celebrated the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties last year, Xi said both sides have since maintained close exchanges and interactions at all levels and promoted high-quality cooperation in new areas.

Noting that next year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of China-Spain comprehensive strategic partnership, Xi said the two sides should adhere to the original intention of establishing diplomatic ties based on mutual respect and equal treatment, take a holistic and long-term view, and add new dimensions to bilateral ties.

Xi also called on both sides to build long-term and stable China-Spain relations with strategic determination, and push bilateral relations to a higher level.

Xi stressed that reform and opening up is a correct development path that China has found through long-term practice, and that it will be pursued steadfastly. The third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made systematic arrangements for further deepening reform comprehensively to advance Chinese modernization, bringing new opportunities for deepening and expanding cooperation between China and Spain, he said.

The two sides should work for mutual benefits by promoting development in high-tech fields like artificial intelligence, the digital economy and new energy, Xi said, adding that China hopes Spain will continue to provide a fair, equitable, safe and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises to invest and do business in the country.

He urged joint efforts from the two sides to stay committed to inclusiveness and mutual learning, promote friendship between the two peoples, and strengthen cultural and people-to-people exchanges in the fields of language education, youth, culture and tourism.

As next year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the EU, China is ready to work with the bloc to review successful experience in the development of bilateral relations and further promote the relations, Xi said. "China hopes that Spain will continue to play a constructive role in this regard."

China and Spain are both countries with a sense of responsibility and mission, and both advocate multilateralism and free trade, Xi said. He noted that China is ready to expand cooperation with Spain in third-party markets in the Global South, and strengthen communication and coordination in the United Nations, the G20 and other international organizations, aiming to inject more positive energy into world peace, stability and human progress.

Sanchez conveyed cordial greetings from King Felipe VI to President Xi.

Spain and China enjoy time-honored friendship, and they have constantly developed and deepened their partnership on the basis of mutual respect, Sanchez said. During his visit, the two sides signed a number of cooperation agreements in fields such as green development, demonstrating the huge potential and bright prospects of bilateral cooperation, he said.

Spain hopes that the two countries will strengthen people-to-people exchanges and deepen cooperation in such fields as economy, trade and new energy vehicles. Spain is willing to provide a sound environment for Chinese enterprises, Sanchez said.

He noted that both Spain and China are committed to safeguarding world peace and multilateralism, and that China is a key force for world peace and development and plays an important, constructive role in resolving major international and regional issues.

Spain views its relations with China from a strategic height, adheres firmly to the one-China policy, is willing to be a trustworthy partner of China, and looks forward to deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries and making greater contributions to the well-being of the two peoples, world peace and prosperity, Sanchez said.

Spain supports the principles of free trade and open markets, opposes trade wars, and is willing to continue playing a positive role in promoting the healthy development of EU-China relations, he said.

The two sides also exchanged views on the Ukraine crisis and the Palestine-Israel conflict. ■
