Cuba’s Ambassador in China, Carlos Miguel Pereira, defined him as ‘an outstanding inspirer and promoter of our mutual friendship.’ He stressed the validity of Fidel’s words when he assured that the links ‘between Cuba and China are an example of transparency and collaboration between two nations that defend socialism in the most difficult conditions that humanity has ever experienced.’
Meanwhile, Qin Gang, deputy minister of Foreign Affairs of China, stressed the historical and permanent contribution of Fidel Castro to the continued promotion of bilateral ties.
Pereira and Qin made these statements during an event held at the Cuban Embassy in Beijing and the presence of other government and Communist Party of China leaders, as well as members of the accredited diplomatic corps in this country.
