China's Key Support for Cuba<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nAccording to Wang, in the face of the \"complex and profound\" changes in the Latin American situation and in the international environment in general, China and Cuba \"have always maintained sincere mutual trust and have remained united.\"\n\nThe Chinese minister also spoke of the Cuban \"spirit\" of \"facing up to power and not being afraid of difficulties.\"\n\nFor his part, according to the same statement, Rodr\u00edguez expressed his gratitude for Chinese support in the face of blockades and sanctions, and for assistance with economic and local development, emphasizing that Beijing and Havana \"are brothers and comrades.\"\n\nThe Ministry revealed that Rodr\u00edguez also met with the 'number 4' of the Chinese political hierarchy, Wang Huning, who also promised Beijing's 'firm support' for Cuba's 'just struggle' against 'foreign interference'.\n\nIn his meeting with the person considered to be the main ideologue of President Xi Jinping, Rodr\u00edguez assured that Cuba wants to work with China to \"protect equity and justice at the international level\".\n\n\n

Visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs<\/h2>\n\n\nRodriguez's visit to Beijing is part of a tour with which the Cuban government seeks the support of its traditional allies, including Russia and Vietnam, in the face of the energy blockade imposed by the United States, which has increased pressure against the island after capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.\n\n\n

In this regard, China publicly urged Washington last week to \"immediately end the blockade, sanctions, and any form of coercive measure against Cuba.\"<\/p>\n\n\nAt the end of January, Xi approved emergency aid to Cuba, including financial assistance of 80 million dollars and a donation of 60,000 tons of rice.\n\n\n
