On October 21, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. A journalist asked, according to reports, that on the 19th local time, the Attorney General of Florida, USA, officially issued a warrant for the arrest of Cuban revolutionary leader Raul Castro. What are the comments of China on this?
Mao Ning said that Comrade Raul is a highly respected Cuban revolutionary leader and enjoys great prestige internationally. We note that the President of Cuba and the Minister of Foreign Affairs condemned the actions of the United States as a clumsy political farce.
Mao Ning pointed out that China has always opposed the use of judicial means to pressure Cuba, and firmly supports Cuba in maintaining its national sovereignty. China also opposes any foreign interference. Mao Ning urged the US to immediately stop the blockade against Cuba and any form of coercive pressure, as well as to cease infringing upon the right to life and development of the Cuban people.
