China and Russia expressed support for Cuba’s embattled government amid mounting pressure from the United States, as Moscow’s deputy foreign minister concluded a visit to Havana and Beijing signalled its willingness to step up diplomatic backing for the island.
“China is willing to work with the international community to firmly support Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and security, and opposing external interference,” foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Friday.
“The US government should listen to the voices of justice and immediately cease its blockade, sanctions and any form of coercion and pressure against Cuba,” she added, in reference to a recent visit to the island by two members of the US Congress.
