“Embassy encourages leadership to explore opportunities”.

Cuban ambassador, Ms Patricia Guerra has encouraged the Ngamiland district leadership to explore new areas or opportunities that Botswana and Cuba can collaborate in.

As part of such collaboration, Ms Guerra suggested to the leadership to identify an existing kindergarten or a primary school in Maun that can be named after Cuban national hero, Jose Marti, who was a patriot and martyr, a poet and essayist and a journalist who spent his short life fighting for Cuban independence from Spain.
