【Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds: Strongly opposes interference by American politicians in normal exchanges between China and Central American countries】

According to reports from CCTV News and Caixin on January 26, during a routine press conference held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spokesperson Guo Jiakun responded to questions from relevant media. A reporter on site mentioned that after the United States released a new version of its national security strategy last month, it has significantly strengthened its strategic investment in the Western Hemisphere, and inquired about China's views on this matter.

In this regard, Guo Jiakun clearly stated that China firmly opposes the unfounded accusations and interference by certain American politicians regarding the normal exchanges between China and Central American countries. He pointed out that the related remarks are purely lies and fallacies, which actually reflect these politicians' own Cold War mentality and ideological biases.

Guo Jiakun emphasized that in the process of carrying out friendly cooperation with Central American countries, China has always adhered to the principles of equality, mutual benefit, mutual respect, win-win cooperation, and openness and inclusiveness. The cooperation between both sides has brought tangible benefits to the local people, and thus has received widespread welcome from the relevant countries. We urge American politicians to stop political manipulation on China-related issues and instead do more real things that are truly beneficial for promoting regional development and prosperity.
