October 14, 2010. A cooperation agreement in the field of information and communication technologies was signed this week in Havana between Ali Abbasov, Azerbaijan's minister of ICT, and his Cuban counterpart, Ramiro Valdés Menéndez.
According to the Azeri newspaper Cyerkalo, Abbasov also met with Vice President Ricardo Cabrisas Ruiz to discuss the production in Cuba of Azeri computers, for distribution and sale in Latin America. Abbasov donated to Cuba 30 of the latest
models, the Cuban daily Granma reported.
Other topics were Azeri investments in Cuba (and vice versa), information exchanges, and the expansion of Internet services in Cuba. Computer production is Azerbaijan's second-largest industry, behind hydrocarbons.
Cabrisas returned recently from a trip to Beijing and Moscow.
