Firms urged to step up BRI role
Experts in Spain are describing the Belt and Road Initiative as a crucial platform for upholding multilateralism and boosting global trade, and they are urging more Spanish companies to partner with Chinese ones on projects in the initiative.
"The BRI is a promising way of promoting physical and digital connectivity in Eurasia and beyond," said Andres Ortega, a senior researcher at the Elcano Royal Institute in Spain.
"Great opportunities exist for Spanish companies in the infrastructure, construction and power sectors. Spanish firms, with understanding and existing relationships in countries across Latin America and Africa, face a great opportunity to work with Chinese firms in these markets, and they have great expertise to offer in such partnerships," he said.
