Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning stated, in response to a question from Prensa Latina, that China took note of the recent visit by US lawmakers to the island, who opposed Washington’s hostile policy toward the Caribbean nation.

The diplomatic institution called for an immediate end to all sanctions and the US blockade against Cuba, while reiterating Beijing’s willingness to work with the international community in supporting the island.

China has repeatedly stated that it will continue its “support and assistance” in the face of repeated threats from the United States, and condemned Washington’s pressure tactics, which “compromise regional peace and stability.”

Chinese Ambassador to Cuba, Hua Xin, recently denounced the impact of the US blockade and reaffirmed his country’s support in the face of the current intensification of this policy.

The diplomat underscored that Beijing will continue its support in defending Cuba’s sovereignty and national security, while further strengthening cooperation in key sectors such as energy and food.

He mentioned, among the ongoing projects, the synchronization of solar parks donated by China into the national grid, the implementation of solar energy systems in isolated homes and community centers, and the delivery of food aid, including the shipment of thousands of tons of rice.
