The Ambassador of Cuba in Cambodia, Liurka Rodríguez Barrios, paid a courtesy call on Minister of Education, Youth and Sports of #Cambodia, Dr. Hang Chuon Naron. They discussed about challenges imposed by COVID-19, as well as the efforts of both governments to mitigate the impact of the pandemic in the area of education.
Education has become a milestone of bilateral cooperation, in 60 years of diplomatic ties. More than a hundred Cambodians have been graduated from the Cuban university. #Cuba offers scholarships to Cambodian youths, despite of the US blockade against the Caribbean Island.
The Cambodian Minister appreciated that gestures and describe them as one of the island's most valuable contributions to the country's progress and to the friendship that both nations profess.
