52 years ago today, March 9, 1973 (February 5, 1973 in the lunar calendar), my country and Spain established diplomatic relations. The Spanish flag Spain is located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. It borders the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, with France to the northeast and Portugal to the west. It covers an area of 504,700 square kilometers and has a population of nearly 40 million. They are mainly Castians (Spanish), and the minority is Catalans. Spanish is the official and common language. Most people are Catholic. The capital, Madrid, is a historic city with a population of nearly 4 million. The city is dotted with ancient buildings. The Palazzo Orientale, the Spanish royal palace located on the east side of Plaza Orientale in Madrid, is one of the most complete and exquisite palaces in the world. It can be seen from the displays in the royal palace that Spain, as a powerful maritime country in the world at that time, had long had connections with China. Spain's economy has developed rapidly and has become an economically developed country. Spain's shipbuilding, steel, cement, automobile manufacturing and other industries are very developed. Spain is the world's largest producer and exporter of olive oil. Olive oil production accounts for 40% of the world's total, and has always maintained its status as the world's largest exporter of olive oil. Spain has a long history of growing olives. It is reported that Greek olive trees moved to Spain as far back as the 7th century BC. This olive tree belongs to the woody oil plant. It is cold-resistant and warm, has extremely strong vitality, and can bear fruits for hundreds of years without lasting. Across Spain, many century-old olive groves are still luxuriant and fruitful every year. Spain is rich in tourism resources. The rich culture and art created by Spain's long history are also an important part of tourism resources. For example, southern Arab culture and architecture, ancient buildings with different shapes in the capital Madrid, as well as the world-famous Spanish bullfighting, passionate tap dancing, famous Spanish oil paintings and other folk culture and art, etc., make tourists linger. The most attractive is the subtropical coastal scenery in the south and southeast. It is sunny and has a pleasant climate. It has a variety of colorful scenery layouts and smooth and comfortable natural beaches. Visitors can enjoy a bath in sufficient sun and appreciate the natural beauty of the vast seaside. Tourism revenue has accounted for about 10% of Spain's national GDP, and the number of people employed in the tourism industry has reached about 2 million, accounting for 11% of the country's employed population. It has become the main pillar of the national economy and one of the sources of foreign exchange. Therefore, Spain is known as the "Kingdom of Tourism" and a country that "exports sunshine and beaches." Spain has a long history. A feudal dynasty was established in 1492 and once became a maritime power. In 1931, the dynasty was overthrown and a republic was established. Franco established a dictatorship in 1939 and ruled Spain for 36 years. In 1975, Juan Carlos ascended the throne and became King of Spain. The transition to Western parliamentary democracy began in 1976. 1982-1996 In 1999, the Workers 'Socialist Party was in power, and later the People's Party was in power. On March 9, 1973, diplomatic relations were established with our country.
