Gov. Cuomo told Puerto Rican officials Tuesday that “your problems really are New York’s problems” as he led a 15-member delegation to the financially troubled island.

Puerto Rico is struggling with $72 billion in debt and needs the federal government’s approval to tap into bankruptcy protections.

Cuomo promised to press Washington, while offering New York’s resources to help the commonwealth find savings in everything from health care to energy costs.

He also announced a joint $5 million tourism campaign to promote travel between the state and the island.

“It is hard to overstate the relationship between Puerto Rico and New York,” Cuomo said during one of several public appearances.

“First of all, we have about a million Puerto Ricans in New York. Practically, there’s a strong connection, financially, there’s a strong connection.

“Your problems really are New York’s problems,” he added.

The governor noted that health care accounts for 20 percent of the island’s economy and offered to send experts to Puerto Rico to show how New York has cut costs for Medicaid and Medicare.

“Helping Puerto Rico resolve its current crisis is both morally and fiscally important for New York City,” said Puerto Rico-born Assemblyman Marcos Crespo (D-Bronx), who is part of the governor’s entourage.
