Colombia, Cuba Favour Further Cooperation
Delegations from Colombia and Cuba described
bilateral relations in several fields as an
example of cooperation between developing
nations, it was reported here on Thursday.
The statements were made by experts attending a
meeting to assess the implementation of the
agreements reached at the Seventh Joint Meeting
on Economic, Technical, Scientific, Educational
and Cultural Cooperation, held in Havana last
year.
In that regard, Luis Enrique Maruri, director of
the International Cooperation Department at the
Colombian Foreign Ministry, favored optimizing
the existing projects, boosting new programs and
prioritizing those agreed upon but not
implemented yet.
For his part, Roberto Rivas, director of the
Latin American and Caribbean Department at the
Cuban Ministry for Foreign Investment and
Economic Cooperation, pointed out that bilateral
cooperation has developed in major fields under
no conditions.
He added that relations between Cuba and
Colombia are excellent and both governments are
willing to continue to develop them.
The meeting was also presided over by Maria
Claudia Barias, Cultural Affairs director at the
Colombian Foreign Ministry, and Cuban Ambassador
in Bogota Jose Antonio Perez Novoa.
