HAVANA -- Chinese President Xi Jinping is wrapping up his visit to Cuba
after signing dozens of agreements for such things as investment by
Chinese firms on the island.

The official newspaper Granma on Wednesday published a description of
the agreements signed by the Chinese leader and Cuban President Raul Castro.

One calls for joint construction of a multipurpose port terminal in the
eastern city of Santiago, while another would form a real estate firm
associated with a golf course in Havana's Bellomonte section. Others
deal with telecommunications, nickel extraction and other subjects.

China is Cuba's No. 2 international trade partner after Venezuela.

The Chinese president began his tour of Latin America last week in
Brazil, and has also visited Argentina and Venezuela.
