In recent days, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez met with the Brazilian politician and reaffirmed Cuba’s will to strengthen bilateral relations and take advantage of existing potentialities.

According to Brazilian media, Amorím traveled to Cuba in response to an express request from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the interest of strengthening ties between the two nations.

On the occasion, both parties showed their willingness to contribute to boosting economic-commercial relations in areas of mutual interest such as biotechnology, vaccines, food production, tourism and energy.
