The Cuban government categorically denied this Thursday an information published by the US newspaper The Wall Street Journal, according to which China and Cuba have signed an agreement to install a large Chinese spy center on Cuban territory.
The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Fernández de Cossío, assured in a statement that it is “unfounded information”, “slander” and “fallacies” in order to justify the United States sanctions and destabilize the island. And that the objective is to “deceive public opinion about the reality of Cuba,” says the official website Cubadebate.
“Slanders of this type have frequently been fabricated by United States officials, apparently familiar with intelligence information, such as those referring to alleged acoustic attacks against US diplomatic personnel,” the diplomat added.
He also said that the Cuban government rejects “all military presence” in Latin America and the Caribbean, including the US in Guantanamo.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the center would make it possible to intercept regional communications. Cuba would receive in exchange, they said, “billions of dollars.”
