THE only country in Latin America with a ruling communist party is Cuba. During the following conversation with China Today, the ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to China, Carlos Miguel Pereira, expressed his congratulations regarding the first centenary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and also highlights the value that the socialist path has had in both countries in overcoming major challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and extreme poverty.
China Today (CT): What do you think of the significance of the celebration China held this July 1 in honor of the first centenary of the CPC?
Carlos Miguel Pereira (CMP): The celebration of the CPC’s centennial has great historic significance, not only for China but also for all the progressive forces in the world that stick to the path of socialism and the wellbeing of humanity.
Since its founding in 1921, the CPC has more than proven itself to be a leading political force displaying great leadership, exemplary integrity, and connection with the public. In its centennial trajectory, its role as the undisputed leader of the Chinese people has been key in the process of territorial reunification and sustainable and peaceful development of China. On the basis of democratic centralism and the strategy of the united front, it knows how to unite and combine other political parties, organizations, business associations, social, ethnic groups, religious personalities, and Chinese in other countries of the world grouped in the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, in pursuing the common goal of rebuilding the country and leading the Chinese nation on the path of economic and social development.
