HAVANA, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) --Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has wrapped up his trip to Cuba aimed at boosting bilateral cooperation.

Li's trip to Havana, the first official visit to Cuba by a Chinese premier since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1960, has attracted attention from the world's influential media.

Reuters underlined the business deals Li and Cuban President Raul Castro signed when Li visited the island country following President Xi Jinping's visit in 2014.

"The two leaders oversaw the signing of around 30 agreements on economic cooperation in various sectors," the British news agency quoted the Cuban state media as saying.

The Associated Press reported the welcoming ceremony Castro held for Li.

"Li was greeted at Jose Marti International Airport by First Vice President Miguel Diaz-Canel and other Cuban officials. The Chinese premier then attended a wreath-laying ceremony Saturday at the Monument to Jose Marti, overlooking the iconic Revolution Square in central Havana," the mainstream U.S. news agency reported.

South China Morning Post focused on the economic fruits the two leaders reaped during this visit.
