Cuba and Japan further boosted their cooperation on March 9, when the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) opened its permanent office in Havana to promote cooperation projects for the sustainable development of the Caribbean nation.
The official ceremony was attended by Mitsunari Okamoto, Japan's parliamentary deputy minister of Foreign Affairs; Rodrigo Malmierca, Cuban minister for Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment (MINCEX); Japanese Ambassador Masaru Watanabe, and senior JICA officials, among other personalities.
