China News Agency, Beijing, November 22 (Reporter Li Jingze) After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's diplomatic "hot season" continues.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has just concluded a trip to Southeast Asia that has attracted worldwide attention, and China's major-country diplomacy will usher in another chapter in Cuba.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on November 21 that Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party and President of the Republic of Cuba, will pay a state visit to China from November 24 to 26. .
Díaz-Canel will be the first head of state from Latin America and the Caribbean to be received by China after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
"After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, through the combination of 'please come in' and 'go out', the frequency and breadth of China's diplomatic high-level visits have continued to increase, which has once again shown the positive attitude of China's diplomacy to the outside world." Cuba Institute of Latin America, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Han Han, secretary-general of the research center, said that under the all-round diplomatic strategy, the ties between China and Latin American countries have been significantly strengthened, and the Cuban leader's visit to China is an example.
Cuba is the first Latin American and Caribbean country in the Western Hemisphere to establish diplomatic relations with New China.
China and Cuba are good friends, good comrades and good brothers.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Cuba 62 years ago, it has become a model of solidarity and cooperation among socialist countries and sincere mutual assistance among developing countries.
This special friendly relationship determines the important position of inter-party exchanges between China and Cuba in bilateral relations.
Some commentators pointed out that inter-party exchanges will be a highlight of Cuban leaders' visit to China.
In fact, under the epidemic, inter-party exchanges between China and Cuba have been interacting frequently, and the leaders of the two parties and countries have always maintained close communication.
Since last year alone, Xi Jinping has had two telephone conversations with Dias-Canel, and several letters and phone calls.
The two parties sincerely learn from each other, hold regular theoretical seminars, and exchange experience in governance.
Just recently, the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China notified the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Han Han pointed out that the communist parties of China and Cuba notified each other of major domestic issues within their respective parties, which is a measure to implement the important consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties.
This time, the face-to-face communication between the top leaders of the two parties will undoubtedly enhance political mutual trust and strengthen strategic leadership, which is of great significance to promoting the development of bilateral relations.
Under the global background of delayed epidemic and economic downturn, how China and Cuba will further plan the development of cooperation between the two sides is expected to become another highlight of the Cuban leader's visit.
Some analysts pointed out that this time Cuba will focus on the power and energy fields. In this regard, China and Cuba have a lot of room for cooperation.
The world's largest power system has been built, and China, which is a global leader in photovoltaic power generation, can deeply connect with Cuba's needs.
Cooperation in emerging fields is also worthy of attention.
Han Han said that under the epidemic, the trade between China and Cuba has remained relatively stable.
China and Cuba are each other's important trading partners. The two sides have a positive willingness to expand cooperation areas. There are broad prospects for cooperation in green energy, digital economy, and biotechnology.
In addition, the demonstration significance of China-Cuba exchanges between countries in the region may become another focus of this visit.
At present, China is one of the most important trading partners in Latin America and the Caribbean, and China's "Belt and Road" initiative is expected by more and more Latin American countries.
Eight years ago, President Xi Jinping proposed that China and Latin America should strive to build a community with a shared future, which received positive responses from Latin American countries.
Cooperation in various fields between China and Latin America is booming, forming an all-round, multi-level and three-dimensional cooperation pattern, and the integration of interests has been further deepened.
"As China's cooperation in Latin America continues to deepen, Latin American countries are paying more and more attention to China's institutional reforms and development achievements." Han Han said that Cuba's exchanges with China have always been at the forefront of developing relations with China in Latin America. Leaders' visits will also allow countries in the region to better understand the complementarity of cooperation between Latin American countries and China, and enhance their confidence in developing countries' solidarity and cooperation for common development.
