[Barcelona Port witnesses the miracle of breaking the ice in Spanish Argentine trade] In 2025, the Port of Barcelona witnessed a dramatic trade recovery, with an export growth rate of 3848.4% to Algeria. Previously, due to the Western Sahara issue, West Asia was plunged into a diplomatic crisis and trade fell into a trough. Now that the political ice has melted, traditional trade ties have burst into vitality, and the two sides are efficiently flowing under the zero tariff framework. The vitality of the port is not limited to this. From January to November, the vehicle throughput increased significantly, the import volume of electric vehicles and other vehicles increased significantly, and the passenger throughput to and from North Africa surged. It also attracted a large number of cruise tourists. Barcelona Port has become a comprehensive economic engine, and if the two countries deepen cooperation in high value-added fields in the future, they are expected to embark on a new journey of coordinated development.
