The Cuban Ambassador, Teresita Trujillo, is keen to visit Galway in an official capacity to discuss new technologies and high-level research and development initiatives.
The ambassador made her views known in a meeting with Galway Green senator, Niall Ó Brolcháin, who is supportive of such a visit.
“Cuba is renowned for providing a world class health care system on a low budget and is now embracing new technologies in order to progress,” said Cllr Ó Brolcháin. “Galway is ideally placed as a technological and research hub to facilitate a transfer of initiatives and ideas to emerging economies.”
He also pointed out that Cuba is “a world leader in sustainable living” with Havana producing 80 per cent of its food supply from within the region.
