Senior officials of the communist parties of Cuba and China on
Wednesday highly praised the friendship between their two
parties.
Cuban Vice President of the Council of State Esteban Lazo
Hernandez said at a meeting with Chen Fengxiang, deputy head of the
International Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
Central Committee, that Cuba appreciated the massive support of the
Chinese government and the Chinese people.
The two communist parties have a deep, traditional friendship,
said Lazo, also a member of the Communist Party of Cuba Central
Committee Political Bureau.
More recently, the two nations have strengthened political
trust, economic cooperation and coordination in international
affairs, he added.

communist parties had laid a sound basis for the development of
good relations between the two countries.
He said he believed the ties between the two parties and the two
