Asangono said that cooperation between Guinea and Cuba goes back a long way and among objectives of the visit is to increase the bonds of fraternity and cooperation, because Equatorial Guinea is a Third World country in urgent need of technology for development and Cuba can continue sharing it with Guinea.
