Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian told Prensa Latina that his Government opposes any manifestation of interference in internal affairs, harassment and coercion to other nations, whether by using economic, political or military methods.

Zhao criticized the White House for ignoring the global clamor and keeping intact the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed more than 50 years against the Caribbean country.

The spokesperson demanded that this measure ceases once and for all, after describing it violates international regulations and the people’s rights to life and development.

He also expressed Beijing’s support to Havana in its efforts to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic, safeguard social stability and improve the population’s welfare, as well as deepen the bilateral relations and friendship.
