China confirms first visit by a Spanish monarch in 18 years

The Chinese foreign ministry said on Monday Felipe VI, the king of Spain, will pay a state visit to China from November 10 to November 13, the first by a Spanish monarch in 18 years, as Madrid seeks to bolster Chinese investment and boost trade ties.

China is willing to join hands with Spain to seize the opportunity presented by the king's visit to expand mutual cooperation and enhance the two countries' strategic partnership, Mao Ning, spokesperson at the Chinese foreign ministry, said at a regular news briefing.

Spain has actively wooed China economically despite U.S. warnings about moving closer to the world's second-biggest economy.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has visited China three times in as many years, most recently in the spring of this year. During a visit in September 2024, Sanchez announced a reversal of Spain's position in support of the EU applying tariffs to Chinese electric vehicles.
