Spain eyes bigger role in Belt, Road

Spain has great potential to further engage in the Belt and Road Initiative and accelerate infrastructure connectivity across Latin America, too, Spanish opinion leaders said.

Their comments came at a time when Spain is playing an increasingly important role in facilitating Eurasian connectivity thanks to Sino-Spanish collaboration across rail, sea and air links in recent years.

"The Belt and Road Initiative is key to ensuring growing global connectivity and open trade links. It produces win-win partnerships and creates new drivers of growth," said Eugenio Bregolat, former Spanish ambassador to China.
