China and Cuba Tuesday pledged to deepen parliamentary exchanges to serve the development of bilateral¹ relations.

 

本周二，中国与古巴承诺将加强议会交往以服务双边关系的发展。

 

The pledge came after talks between top Chinese legislator Zhang Dejiang and Esteban Lazo Hernandez, president of Cuba's National Assembly of People's Power.

 

"Since China and Cuba forged diplomatic ties 57 years ago, bilateral relations have withstood the test of an ever-changing international situation, and bilateral friendship has been continuously consolidated² and developed," Zhang said. "China has always given Cuba an especially important position in its overall diplomacy³."

 

Zhang said that China would work with Cuba to steadfastly⁴ deepen their friendship, treat each other with sincerity⁵, carry out mutually beneficial cooperation and forge partnership⁶ in reform and development.

 

China firmly supports Cuba's pursuit of the socialist⁷ path, he added.

 

He said China's National People's Congress (NPC) attached great importance to developing friendly relations with Cuba's National Assembly.
