BEIJING, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi exchanged congratulatory messages Sunday with his Cuban counterpart, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, over the 65th anniversary of their countries' diplomatic relations.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that over the past 65 years, the China-Cuba relationship has deepened continuously, enjoying solid political mutual trust, fruitful cooperation across various fields, and mutual support in international and regional affairs, which has consistently demonstrated the close and ironclad friendship between the two countries.

Not long ago, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel in Beijing and reached new important consensus on the development of relations between the two parties and two countries, he noted.

Wang expressed his readiness to maintain close communication with Rodriguez to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, deepen political mutual trust between the two parties and countries, strengthen exchanges and cooperation between the two foreign ministries, advance the special friendly relations between China and Cuba from a new historical starting point, and continuously enrich the China-Cuba community with a shared future.

For his part, Rodriguez said that over the years, Cuba and China have respected and supported each other, kept strengthening political mutual trust, carried out cooperation in various fields, and jointly defended socialism and multilateralism, forging a solid brotherly friendship that has consistently benefited the two peoples.

In the face of the current severe international situation, he said, Cuba is willing to work with China to implement the new consensus reached between Xi and Diaz-Canel, enhance political coordination across various bilateral fields and strengthen all-round collaboration, so as to advance the building of the Cuba-China community with a shared future.
