China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding national sovereignty and security, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Tuesday.
He made the remarks in response to a media query about Cuba's ongoing fuel shortage crisis, which is expected to last until March 11 and has led to the suspension of international flights to the Caribbean nation.
"So far we have not received any report of Chinese citizens stranded in Cuba. China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding national sovereignty and security and opposing external interference. China stands firmly against the inhumane actions that deprive the Cuban people of their right to subsistence and development. China will, as always, do our best to provide support and assistance to Cuba," said Lin.
