Nicosia, Cyprus, September 26, 2026. — Invited by the China-Cyprus Friendship Association and the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in this capital, the Cuban ambassador, Rubén Pino Martínez, joined his counterpart, H.E. Ambassador Mr. Yang Yundong, this past Friday on the occasion of the celebration of the 77th anniversary of the founding of the sister People's Republic of China.
During the gala, sponsored by the President of the mentioned friendship association, Mr. Che Huali, and its Honorary President, Mr. Chris Michael, both ambassadors reiterated the close and solid bonds of friendship and solidarity that have characterized relations between both countries and peoples for decades.
A timely opportunity for the Cuban diplomat to reiterate to H.E. Yang Yundong, on behalf of the Cuban government and people, his gratitude for the firm stance of the government of the Asian giant in demanding, from the United Nations, the end of the blockade and the lifting of sanctions against Cuba.
The recent statement made at the United Nations by Han Zheng, Vice President of the People's Republic of China, represented a clear denunciation of the threats of U.S. military aggression against Cuba and called for the immediate lifting of the criminal U.S. blockade against the largest of the Antilles.
The Cuban diplomat also reiterated to his host counterpart the immense gratitude to his nation for the unconditional support and solidarity recently expressed in the statements of his compatriot and Ambassador of the People's Republic of China in Havana, Mr. Hua Xin, who emphasized cooperation in the energy sector as a priority of the alliance between both nations. In response, he announced the upcoming arrival on the island of 'thousands of solar systems for homes, which will provide electricity to public centers and households in remote areas.' Another reason to understand that #CubaIsNotAlone.
