<h6><strong>Eduardo González</strong></h6> <h4><strong>Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares travels to the Chinese city of Hangzhou this Tuesday to discuss bilateral relations and major international issues with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, and to meet with Spanish business leaders.</strong></h4> The minister travels to Hangzhou directly from Cairo, where this Monday he will accompany Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to the signing ceremony for the end of the war in Gaza, organized by Egypt and also attended by the President of the United States and other European and Arab leaders. For this reason, according to a press release from the Ministry, the visit scheduled for this Monday to Armenia has been postponed to another date. During the meeting, the minister will review the bilateral agenda with his counterpart, Wang Yi, in its political and economic aspects, as well as major international issues. He will also follow up on the agreements signed during Pedro Sánchez's visit to the Asian giant last April. The visit also has significant economic implications, including a meeting with Spanish business leaders in China. Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province, home to 70 percent of the Chinese residents in our country. Furthermore, thanks to its commitment to innovation, it has become a leading industrial, technological, and university hub. Albares will also inaugurate the new international campus of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), the Beihang Valencia Polytechnic Institute (BVPI), the first Spanish university to offer in-person teaching abroad, with a planned capacity for 2,000 students and undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs. The visit to Hangzhou comes within the context of the twentieth anniversary of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Spain and China, the celebration of which took place during Pedro Sánchez's aforementioned visit.
