Our ties have become an example of solidarity and cooperation between socialist countries, as well as an example of sincere mutual assistance between developing countries," Xi said.

He assured the Cuban president that his country will continue to support and defend Cuban national sovereignty while opposing external interference and blockade.

"China is ready to work with Cuba to implement the Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative and jointly promote world peace and development," Xi said.
