On November 22nd, 2004, the Chinese and Cuban governments exchanged agreements about getting a Chinese team to do a study on the modernization of Cuba's meteorological system services. This agreement was signed by Bo Xilai, Minister of Commerce, and Fernando González Bermúdez, acting Minister of CITMA (Ministerio de ciencia, tecnología y medio ambiente).This project's primary objective is to strengthen the technological capacities of Cuba's Meteorological Service in a three year period. It's oriented principally towards the modernization of the monitoring network of meteorological observations, the modernization of the system of meteorological telecommunications, and insurances for the carrying out of the project. The signed document is entitled: "Canje de Notas entre el Gobierno de la República de Cuba y el Gobierno de la República Popular China, sobre el Envío de una Misión de Especialistas a Cuba por el Gobierno de China para Realizar Estudios sobre el Proyecto de Modernización del Sistema de Servicios Meteorológicos de Cuba."
