China has voiced support for Cuba’s sovereignty after the US labeled the island’s socialist government a security threat.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with his Cuban counterpart, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, in Beijing on Thursday.
“China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and security, opposes unwarranted interference by external forces, and rejects any attempt to deprive the Cuban people of their rights to survival and development,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said after the meeting.
Lin added that China is ready to support Cuba “to the best of its ability.”
Parrilla wrote on X that the sides “affirmed the special and strategic nature of the historical ties between the two socialist countries.”
