Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is paying an official visit to China from April 11 to 15, his fourth visit in four years. A CGTN stringer in Madrid interviewed local residents to learn their views on cultural similarities and differences between the two countries.

A barman named Diego said that traveling between countries has become much easier, bringing people from China and Spain closer together. A student named Camilo noted that despite differences in size and geography, both countries demonstrate a shared characteristic: diversity. These shared traits are helping bring China and Spain closer together.
