00:00Chinese President Xi Jinping and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel exchanged congratulations
00:05on the 65th anniversary of the Sino-Cuban diplomatic relations established on September
00:1028, 1960. The leaders highlighted the strengthening of bilateral cooperation in recent years,
00:15focused on building a shared socialist future.
00:19Mutual congratulations between Xi Jinping and Díaz-Canel officially marked the commemorative
00:25date of six and a half decades of diplomatic relations. Cuban Ambassador to China, Alberto
00:32Blanco Silva, explained the historical role of the Cuban Revolution in recognizing the
00:38Chinese socialist government established in 1949.
00:42Cuba became the first Latin American country not only to break with geographical fatalism,
00:52not only to break with the Monroe Doctrine, but also to establish diplomatic relations with the new
00:58China, recognizing the government of the People's Republic of China as its sole and legitimate
01:05representative. It should be remembered that at that time, China was not a member of the United
01:10Nations, and Cuba also defended, as an act of historical justice, and as an act of independence,
01:18that the People's Republic of China should be a member of the United Nations in its own right.
01:26Chinese-Cuban cooperations include student exchange dating back to the early years
01:32of bilateral relations. Xu Xinxang, a professor and one of the first Chinese students to travel to Cuba,
01:40shared the experience with the educational ties between the two socialist countries,
01:46and his work translating important works of Cuban literature, including Marta Rojas,
01:52The Trial of Moncada.
01:58I attended the School of Letters and History, but I also attended a diplomacy class at night.
02:04Over the course of three years, we went to the Cuban countryside three times.
02:20During the sugar harvest, to cut sugar cane, we visited once on a state farm.
02:24Another time at an agricultural cooperative, and a third time on a farmer's farm.
02:41For me, it was a great experience to learn about the Cuban countryside and the cooperative movement.
02:47And the cooperation of Cuba.
02:51Early this year, President Xi Jinping pledged that China continued support for Cuba in the face of the
02:57United States' blockade against the island. During the Escanel subsequent visit to Beijing,
03:03the leaders signed multiple cooperation agreements and issued a joint declaration on building a community
03:10of the future between the two nations. Bruno Fausti, Beijing, China, for Telesur.
