Cuba’s Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio

CUBA’S Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio has has condemned a report by the Wall Street Journal claiming there is an agreement between China and Cuba for the installation of a special Chinese base in the country to spy on the United States.

Speaking on Thursday, Mr de Cossio pointed out that Cuba is a signatory of the Community of Latin American & Caribbean States’ 2014 “zone of peace” declaration.

He said: “By virtue of it, we reject any foreign military presence in Latin America and the Caribbean.”

Mr de Cossio labelled the US accusation mendacious and unfounded, and said that “they are all fallacies promoted with the perfidious intention of justifying the unprecedented intensification of the blockade, destabilisation and aggression towards Cuba and deceiving public opinion in the United States and the world.”
