The government of Cuba places special emphasis on technology-based progress and extremely welcomes the development of scientific and technological cooperation with Iran, the Cuban minister said.

She also described the formation of the joint Technology and Innovation Committee between the two countries as an “appropriate initiative” and called for establishing a joint innovation and technology center in order to broaden relations between their technological companies.
