The protocol, expected to boost bilateral cooperation in the fields of health care, education, sports, scientific research and agriculture, was signed during the visit of Wang Xiaoxun, vice chairman of Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, reports said. Wang told the press that there were meaningful similarities between the Chinese municipality and the Cuban province regarding their agrarian roots and the efforts in industrialization. "We wish to enhance mutual cooperation in many sectors," Wang said. Wang said that one of the cooperation projects between the two areas could be to create a Cuba-China hospital in Chongqing, so Chinese people could "enjoy the goodness of the Cuban medical services."
