In Beijing on July 24, Chinese President Xi Jinping sat down with Antonio Costa, President of the European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, for the 25th China-EU Summit. Back in Madrid, locals are taking notice.
'We see positive signals already,' says Elias, a Madrid resident interviewed by CGTN. Many in Spain's capital echo his optimism, noting that while current interactions are steady, there's ample room to deepen ties in trade, technology and cultural exchange.
Other interviewees highlighted growing student and tourism links, predicting that the next phase of China-EU relations could unlock fresh opportunities for entrepreneurs, researchers and travelers alike.
Across borders and time zones, young global citizens are watching as these two economic giants chart a course for closer collaboration. For Spain's voices on the ground, the 25th Summit marks not an endpoint, but the start of a promising chapter in international partnership.
