In the case of rainstorm disaster in the middle and east of Cuba, the Red Cross Society of China provided emergency cash assistance of US $100000 to the Cuban government at the handover ceremony held by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment of Cuba on the 27th. Chinese Ambassador to Cuba Ma Hui and Vice Minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment of Cuba Rivas attended the ceremony. Ma Hui said at the ceremony that the rain disaster caused several deaths, more than ten thousand houses were destroyed, nearly ten thousand people were evacuated and relocated, and agricultural production was severely affected. China sympathizes with the difficulties faced by Cuba. Ma Hui said that last year, when the Storage tank exploded in Matanzas Province Province, Cuba, the Red Cross Society of China quickly provided emergency humanitarian cash assistance, while the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs provided cash and food assistance. In recent years, the Chinese side has actively provided help within its capacity in combating the COVID-19, the Hotel Saratoga explosion, and the Hurricane Ian disaster. "All this fully shows that the friendship between China–Cuba relations is the biggest background and prominent feature of China Cuba relations." Rivas thanked the Red Cross Society of China for its assistance. She said, "China has always provided firm support to Cuba, and today's assistance once again demonstrates the profound friendship between the two countries
