BEIJING, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- No matter how the international landscape may evolve, China will always be a good friend and good partner of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday.

"China's policy on the LAC region maintains continuity and consistency," Lin said at a regular news briefing.

"We uphold the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs, respect the choice of the LAC people, and never draw lines along ideological differences," he said, adding that China-LAC exchanges and cooperation follow the principles of equality and mutual benefit, and never seek sphere of influence or target any party.

China stands ready to work with LAC countries that have diplomatic relations with China to deepen strategic mutual trust, give each other understanding and support on issues bearing on the core interests and major concerns, including national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, support each other in following development path that suits each country's national conditions, and oppose hegemony and power politics, he said.
