Havana, Feb 17 (RHC) The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez, and of Singapore, Vivian Balakrishnan, emphasized today the willingness of both governments to expand economic cooperation in diverse areas.

This was stated in the X profile of the Cuban top diplomat, who is currently on an official visit to Singapore as part of a tour of Asian nations.
