Cuban Ambassador Holds Working Meeting with The Bahamas' Minister of Agriculture and Marine Resources
Nassau, July 16 – The Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Juan Carlos Marcóf Sánchez, held a working meeting with the Minister of Agriculture and Marine Resources and Member of Parliament, Hon. Jomo Campbell; Permanent Secretary Janice Miller; and the Ministry's executive team to discuss ways to strengthen agricultural cooperation between the two countries. The Ambassador was accompanied by Third Secretary Laura Canet Mulén.
The meeting focused on opportunities to advance the agricultural sector and expand trade between Cuba and The Bahamas. The occasion also provided an opportunity to exchange views on the 176 economic and social transformation measures recently introduced by the Cuban Government, with particular emphasis on those related to agriculture and trade.
For Small Island Developing States (SIDS) such as Cuba and The Bahamas, advancing food sovereignty and food security is a strategic priority in addressing global challenges. In this regard, solidarity-based cooperation, the exchange of knowledge, scientific innovation, and the strengthening of national capacities play an essential role in promoting more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient agrifood systems for the benefit of the well-being and development of our peoples.
The meeting reaffirmed the shared commitment of both countries to further strengthening bilateral ties and advancing regional integration.
