CHINA donated $100 million (£80m) to Cuba on Wednesday as part of a co-operation agreement between the two socialist nations.
Cuba’s ambassador to China, Carlos Pereira, and the vice-president of the China International Development Cooperation Agency, Tang Wenhong, met in Beijing to sign the historic co-operation agreement for financial support to the Caribbean island blockaded by US sanctions.
Mr Pereira said the agreement formalises the donation pledged by China during the visit of President Miguel Diaz-Canel to the nation in November 2022.
