China's long-term friendship policy with Cuba remains unwavering, says China's top political advisor

China has unwaveringly adhered to the policy of long-term friendship with Cuba, and firmly supports Cuba in its just struggle against sanctions, blockade and foreign interference, China's top political advisor Wang Huning said when meeting with Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla in Beijing on Wednesday.

Wang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, added that China is convinced that the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) will lead the Cuban people to new achievements along the path of building socialism.

Wang said relations between the two parties and two countries of China and Cuba have reached new heights and taken on a new look under the strategic guidance of the two leaders, and steady progress has been made in building a China-Cuba community with a shared future.

Rodriguez, also the special envoy of the PCC and the Cuban Government, as well as member of the Political Bureau of the PCC Central Committee, said that Cuba places Cuba-China relations high on its diplomatic agenda.

He thanked China for supporting Cuba as it copes with an extremely complex situation and external unilateral coercive measures.

Noting that the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries serves as a vital guide for advancing bilateral relations, Rodriguez said Cuba stands ready to work with China to jointly build a Cuba-China community with a shared future.
