00:00Returning to one of our top stories, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is wrapping up his five-day trip to
00:06China,
00:06where he and President Xi Jinping agreed to forge closer ties.
00:10Ana Miranda is a Spanish member of the European Parliament.
00:15The relations between China and Spain, they are very important.
00:19And look as the world is today, with the ongoing illegal war in between Israel and the United States,
00:26and attacking Iran and attacking other peoples, we need to strengthen the economic relations
00:34and the relationships with countries like China.
00:40And it's for that, for us, it's really an important relation.
00:46Do you think that these ties, which are increasingly strong between China and Spain,
00:51are also helping to build ties between China and the rest of the European Union?
00:58The European Union cannot avoid China.
01:03This is a particular decision for the European Union.
01:07But at the current times, the relations with China are very important,
01:13because we need to open the multilateralism in a world that is crushed,
01:19the multilateralism with the position of Mr. Trump.
01:25China is leading the green transition, is leading the digital revolution,
01:30and the AI too.
01:33And for us, China mounts also all the most of the reserves of the CRM.
01:40How is Spain helping to build a bridge between China and the rest of Europe,
01:47bearing in mind that there are trading issues that have to be overcome and grappled with
01:52between the two big power blocks?
01:55Yes.
01:56The world is on fire.
01:58We see every day that the world is on fire, because the United States,
02:05they want this fire, and they want to destroy all the international order.
02:12For political parties, like my political party, and also the group that we are here in the parliament,
02:19with the European Free Alliance, we defend the multilateralism,
02:25and it's for that the position of Spain is in the right position to increase the relations with China,
02:35and also working in the possible investments and relations in the economic area,
02:44but also in the scientific and in the multilateralism relations with China.
02:50To be continued...
