According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on August 12, 2026, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun took questions from journalists.
EFE Reporter: Reports say Chinese automaker SAIC Group plans to build its first European plant in Ferrol, Spain. Given the site’s proximity to local sensitive military and ship‑building facilities, the Spanish government is assessing the investment project from perspectives including economy, industry, employment and national security. What is China’s comment?
Guo Jiakun: China has taken note of positive remarks made by Spain’s central and local governments. China is ready to further deepen practical cooperation between the two countries under the principles of mutual respect and mutual benefit. It hopes the Spanish side will provide a fair, just and non‑discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises.
