Cuban interior minister told Beijing ready to work on the ‘important mutual understandings’ reached at leaders’ meeting in May
Chen and Lazaro Alberto Alvarez Casas, Cuba’s interior minister, opened the meeting by marking 65 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries, according to a report posted to social media on Monday by China’s Ministry of State Security.
Cuba was the first country in the western hemisphere to establish diplomatic relations with China, and the two countries have remained good friends, Chen said, while Alvarez praised China’s achievements over the years.
“China has achieved remarkable accomplishments that have attracted worldwide attention and has become a role model for socialist countries,” Alvarez said.
Chen also said that China was ready to work with Cuba on the understandings reached by President Xi Jinping and the Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermúdez at their meeting in May.
