Chinese Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Zhang Zhili met with Cuban Vice Minister of Agriculture Telce Gonzalez to review joint projects and explore new areas of cooperation in the sector.
The Cuban embassy in China said that the two sides discussed opportunities to deepen relations within the framework of building a “community of shared future” between the two countries, and described agriculture as a priority area in bilateral relations.
The meeting added a practical dimension to China’s growing efforts to support Cuba at a moment of extreme weakness for the island’s government.
The indictment, which was unveiled in Miami, included charges of conspiring to kill American citizens and four counts of murder against the 94-year-old former president and younger brother of the late revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, and five other defendants. This was the first time Washington brought criminal charges against either of the Castro brothers.
