Zhou welcomed Pereira’s visit and said that China and Cuba are good friends, comrades and brothers. The two countries have supported and helped each other, and stood together with mutual assistance amid difficulties in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. China will take the opportunity to further deepen development cooperation with Cuba and promote greater results in the Sino-Cuban friendship, added Zhou.
