Dear M. Lassina Zerbo,
Delegates and guests,
Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to the organizers of the Symposium for the possibility to share some Cuban experiences and perspectives on scientific diplomacy with you.
In our opinion this is a concept which is closely linked to the relations of peace among countries as its main feature is to use science and apply it to promote, improve and strengthen the ties among societies not to destroy the world and the human race.
