Spain's King Juan Carlos I on Monday said economy and trade will
be the key areas of cooperation between Spain and China in the
future.
King Juan Carlos, speaking at Euro-China International Business
College in Shanghai, said the number of Spanish companies that had
invested in Shanghai had risen to about 200 from 60 in 2004, King
said.
He hoped the Spain-Shanghai cooperation would continue to
grow.
The king also visited a design exhibition, which showcased 300
Spanish works in design, image creation and furniture over the past
100 years.
The exhibition is part of the on-going "Year of Spain in China"
exchange program.
This is the third visit of Juan Carlos I to China. He will meet
with President Hu Jintao and other leaders in Beijing.
