Brazil's Rousseff focuses on economy in Cuba visit (AP)

HAVANA ? Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is in Cuba for a visit emphasizing economic cooperation.

Rousseff's office says her trip aims to bolster trade between the two nations, which hit a record $642 million last year.

She plans to meet with President Raul Castro in Havana on Tuesday and tour an expansion project at the nearby port of Mariel. Brazil says it has financed almost 80 percent of the project's $683 million price tag.

Rousseff was greeted at the airport Monday afternoon by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez. She waved to reporters but did not make any public statements before leaving by car.
