China and Cuba are both socialist countries and good friends, comrades, and brothers. In 1959, the Havana branch of Xinhua News Agency was established, which was the first branch established by Xinhua News Agency in Latin American countries. At every important moment in the development process of China and ancient times, Xinhua News Agency reporters have never been absent Bai Shide said that Xinhua News Agency's influence continues to expand worldwide, and it always adheres to the principle of objectivity in its reporting, reporting on the development and changes of various countries, especially those in the global South, from all angles and multiple perspectives, becoming a loud voice representing the public opinion of countries in the global South. Although we reside in far corners of the world, having a good friend is akin to having a good neighbor. Cuba and China have set an example for how countries of different sizes, socialist countries, and China and Latin American countries can coexist Bai Shide said. Bai Shide has served as the Ambassador to China twice since 2011, witnessing the development and changes of China in the new era. He said that under the strong leadership of the CPC, China has embarked on a successful development path in line with its own national conditions. A series of ideas and measures, such as adhering to the people as the center, comprehensively deepening reform, and promoting high-quality development, reflect the integrity and innovation of the CPC, and provide important reference for countries around the world.
