On June 22 and 23, a Venezuelan delegation, led by the People’s Power Minister for Science and Technology, Gabriela Jiménez Ramírez, visited the Republic of Cuba.

At the end of the day, a balance meeting took place with the participation of the Minister and the Ambassador of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on the island, Adán Chávez Frías, in which both described the activities carried out as extraordinary.

Jiménez Ramírez reported that, among other issues, she exchanged with the Cuban authorities about the “development of research lines related to biotechnology technologies, diagnoses and therapies applied to confront the COVID-19 pandemic, with great success in recovery of affected patients”.

For his part, Ambassador Adán Chávez stressed that “the visit of the Venezuelan authorities to Cuba is framed in the efforts led by President Nicolás Maduro to deepen the joint activities in science, technology and innovation carried out by both countries, in the framework of the Cuba-Venezuela Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement”.

After the meeting, the diplomat wrote in his account on the Twitter social network that during the balance meeting with the Minister “we talked about the efforts that the Bolivarian Government continues to make to put science, technology and innovation at the service of our people, and plans to deepen bilateral cooperation in this area.”
