MEXICO CITY, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday reiterated her government's commitment to supplying Cuba with humanitarian aid, saying the island country faces a tough situation that requires the solidarity of the international community.
During her daily press conference, Sheinbaum pledged to continue sending all kinds of aid as part of the two countries' longstanding ties of solidarity.
"We continue to send all kinds of aid and we are going to continue sending ... aid to the Cuban people," she said.
Mexico will do everything in its power to continue providing support to the island country, particularly as the United States tightens its more than six-decade-long blockade of Cuba, Sheinbaum stressed.
"It's a matter of solidarity. The people of Mexico have always done this, and we will continue to do so, because it is a country that needs it," she added. ■
