Cuban delegation continues activities in the St. Petersburg Forum

 

Havana, June 16 (RHC) Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero continues today his work program in Saint Petersburg, where he is participating in the 26th International Economic Forum, as part of his official visit to Russia at the head of a high-level delegation.

The premier reported on Twitter that he exchanged with Alexander Beglov, governor of Saint Petersburg, about expanding cooperation ties between Cuba and that city, the second most important in the Eurasian nation.

At the meeting, both parties determined that digital technologies, the pharmaceutical industry, education, tourism and culture are the sectors with the greatest potential for cooperation.

This Thursday, at the work table dedicated to economic sovereignty in a multipolar world, the Cuban head of government defended sovereign development, understood as the ability of countries to decide for themselves on the establishment of their own road maps the growth of their economies, for the benefit of the peoples.

Today the plenary meeting of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum will take place, and in parallel the work will continue in round tables, exhibitions, teleconferences and presentations.

Marrero has been in Russia since June 6, on his first official visit to that country as Prime Minister. This visit reflects the interest, expressed by both parties, in materializing actions to increase mutual economic and commercial ties, and with the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, of which Cuba has been an observer state since 2020.

Russia is the second trading partner of the largest of the Antilles at a regional level and the fifth at a global level, with great potential in areas such as the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons, energy, tourism, agriculture and the iron and steel industry. (Source: ACN)
