The foundation for cooperation is very strong in fields of culture, education and health, said the Chinese official, while expressing satisfaction over the smooth operation of the Confucius Institute at Havana University and a jointly-financed ophthalmic hospital.
He also called for more frequent exchanges between the young people of the two countries.
Meanwhile, Yang said the two countries have plenty opportunities for cooperation in trade and investment, especially in energy, mechanical and electronical equipment, and mineral products.

The trip, Yang said, is aimed at discussing with Rodriguez ways to further enhance bilateral ties and cooperation in international and regional affairs.
