Havana, December 2.- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (CCPCC) and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, sent a message to Comrade Xi Jinping, Secretary General of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the People’s Republic of China , in which he expresses his deep sorrow at the death of his dear friend Jiang Zemin.
In his letter, Díaz-Canel recalls that Zemin made a great contribution to the socialist cause of the People’s Republic of China and to the promotion and full development of the ties of friendship and cooperation between Cuba and the Asian nation, earning him the Order of Jose Marti.
The First Secretary of the CCPCC expressed his heartfelt condolences on behalf of the people, the CCP, the Cuban government and his own to the Chinese people, the Party and the government, and extended them to Jiang Zemin’s relatives and close friends.
Meanwhile, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba also sent a letter expressing its sincere condolences to the CPC Central Committee on the death of Jiang Zemin.
“We will never forget that Jiang Zemin was the only head of state to visit Cuba in 1993, in the most difficult moments of the special period, when few believed that the Cuban revolution would survive the disappearance of the Soviet Union and the socialist camp. The visit and this gesture marked an important milestone in bilateral relations between the peoples, parties and governments of China and Cuba,” the document said.
He adds: “We will not forget his exchanges with the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, and with Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, whom he warmly welcomed on their respective visits to China.”
