China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and opposing foreign interference, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday, in response to a media inquiry on the development of China-Cuba relations.
"Over the 66 years since China and Cuba established diplomatic relations, the friendship between the two countries has been passed down from generation to generation. In recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the building of a China-Cuba community with a shared future has continued to deepen and become more substantive," said Guo Jiakun, the spokesman, at a press conference in Beijing.
"No matter how the international landscape may change, China will, as always, firmly support Cuba in exploring a socialist development path suited to its national conditions, and firmly support Cuba in safeguarding national sovereignty and opposing foreign interference," he said.
