Analysis of the Changes in the Characteristics of Diplomatic Discourse between China and Cuba (1960-2022)

Abstract

For more than sixty years since diplomatic ties between China and Cuba, the exchange discourse between the foreign ministries and the press releases and treaties signed also contain discourses that convey to the world the cordial ties between the two nations. Based on five joint statements and documents signed between 1960 to 2022, the study focuses on the Chinese and Cuban diplomatic discourse through textual and paradigmatic analysis and explores the reasons for the changes. The paper takes a positive view of the future of the relations between China and Cuba. The diplomatic ideas and concepts of the Chinese Communist Party have been externalized into Chinese diplomatic practice through cooperation, along with Chinas high-quality and efficient development. In light of the recent modifications to the current worldwide scene, China and Cuba have fully developed in all aspects. The two countries have developed a harmonious and cooperative diplomatic concept based on shared interests. They have proposed a new diplomatic strategy sufficient to build a unique discourse of diplomatic exchanges and cooperation.
