Syria and Cuba for greater cooperation in all fields

 

Havana, Sep 19 (RHC) Talks between the Syrian Finance Minister Kinan Yaghi and the Cuban authorities focused on ways to promote cooperation in all fields.

Cuban Deputy Prime Minister Ricardo Cabrisas received the Syrian minister with whom he reviewed the ways to improve cooperation in the fields of politics, economy, commerce, culture, science and agriculture. The two sides stressed the importance of taking advantage of historical relations to raise the level of collaboration in all spheres.

Upon being received by the Cuban head of Higher Education, Walter Paloja García, Minister Yaghi expressed the desire of the Syrian government to promote bilateral ties especially in the fields of science, universities, scientific research institutes and the exchange of undergraduate and graduate scholarships. It was agreed during the meeting to follow up on cooperation issues and study the signing of new agreements that expand the perspectives of bilateral collaboration.

In turn, the Minister of Public Health, José Ángel Portal, analyzed with the Syrian minister the ways to enhance bilateral cooperation in the field of health. Yaghi said that Damascus is very interested in strengthening exchange with Cuba regarding medicines and vaccines, and signing agreements that help confront the sanctions and the economic, financial and commercial blockade of the United States imposed on the two nations.

The Syrian delegation also held meetings with several Cuban ministers and vice ministers, including Defense, Telecommunications, and Foreign Affairs. During these meetings, mutual support and the full willingness of both parties to continue working to strengthen bilateral cooperation and follow up on bilateral agreements were ratified.

Deep friendship, unconditional solidarity and invariable common positions marked almost six decades of relations between Syria and Cuba, which began on August 11, 1965. (Source: PL)
