China has reiterated its firm support for Cuba in protecting its national sovereignty against external interference. This affirmation from China's foreign minister was made amid rising tensions with the U.S., which has been intensifying pressure on the island nation.
Beijing's relationship with Cuba has been highlighted following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, a close ally of Cuba. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi expressed readiness to support Cuba amidst 'complex and profound changes' in Latin America, according to his ministry's statement.
As the U.S. President continues efforts to block oil shipments to Cuba, Beijing affirms its 'special friendly relations' with the socialist state. The visit of Cuba's foreign minister coincided with increasing U.S.-China rivalry in Latin America, with disputes over strategic ports near the Panama Canal.
