European envoys visit China's top political advisory body as ties mark 50th year


Swiss Ambassador to China Jurg Burri noted the symbolic significance of the anniversary, saying it is an opportunity to deepen ties between institutions on both sides. He said the CPPCC has frequently hosted Swiss delegations for exchanges on political systems and will soon welcome a Swiss parliamentary delegation as part of continued engagement.
Spanish Ambassador Marta Betanzos Roig said people-to-people exchanges between Spain and China have grown in recent years, especially in education. She said the number of students studying in each other's countries has seen remarkable growth in the past decade.
As China becomes increasingly connected with the world, especially with Latin America, Betanzos Roig said, there is potential to further expand Chinese interest in learning Spanish, the world's second-most spoken language.
