Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla has condemned the US $11.1 billion arms sale to Taiwan, echoing China's position that it violates sovereignty and threatens Asia-Pacific stability. Cuba upholds the 'One China' principle, recognizing Taiwan as part of China amid escalating tensions.
Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, a Politburo member of Cuba's Communist Party, posted on social media rejecting the US arms package to Taiwan, valued at a record $11.1 billion. He argued it undermines China's sovereignty and peace in the Asia-Pacific.
This follows China's strong condemnation of the deal last week and subsequent countermeasures against 20 US defense firms and 10 executives involved in prior sales to Taiwan. Beijing has urged the US to respect the 'One China' principle and joint communiqués, warning that the Taiwan issue is a core interest and red line in bilateral ties.
Cuba's statement reinforces international support for China's stance on territorial integrity, highlighting geopolitical frictions over US arms support to Taiwan.
