Cuba and South Africa signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) and collaboration in the information technologies and communications spheres.

Cuban Minister Ramiro Valdés and his South African counterpart General Siphiwe Nyanda penned the MoU and toasted to its success.

Nyanda highlighted the good health of the bilateral relations and said his country was interested in collaborating with Cuba in the telecommunications field.

The South African Minister told the press that countries that are friends can help each other and finding new ways and possibilities of exchange, which is the reason his delegation is in Cuba.

He also talked about the visits they made to the Computing Sciences University, the Central Institute of Digital Research and the Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade and Investment Ministries.

Cuba and South Africa have relations in other fields, like public health care and education, which include in the African country the use of the Cuban “Yes I can” literacy method.

Siphiwe Nyanda has been visiting Cuba since April 7 following an invitation made by Ramiro Valdés.
