China will firmly support Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and legitimate rights and interests, and in opposing sanctions, blockades and external interference, regardless of how the international situation evolves, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday.

Wang made the remarks during talks with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla in Beijing.

Wang said China is willing to work with Cuba to further consolidate and develop bilateral friendship, strengthen communication and coordination in multilateral affairs, and jointly oppose power politics and unilateral actions.

The two countries should also promote solidarity and self-reliance among Global South countries and work toward a fairer and more equitable global governance system, he said.

Rodriguez thanked China for its valuable support for Cuba's national development, particularly in opposing external blockades and interference, and reaffirmed Cuba's firm commitment to the one-China principle.

He said Cuba supports China's vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity and the four global initiatives, and is ready to further strengthen coordination with China in multilateral affairs to achieve more cooperation outcomes.
