Havana : An Ethiopian government delegation is to start Monday a series of meetings with Cuban counterparts to foster economic, scientific and technical collaboration between both nations.
Ethiopian Finance and Economic Development Minister Mekonnen Manyazewal leads his country’s delegation that will participate until Thursday in the Fifth session of the Intergovernmental Commission.
Manyazewal’s agenda here includes meeting with Cuban officials in the capital’s Ministry for Foreign Investments and Economic Collaboration.
Cuba and Ethiopia established diplomatic relations on July 18, 1975, although the diplomatic mission from such African nation in the island was closed from 1992 to 2006.
The collaboration between both countries was restarted in mid 1998 and at present Cuban experts in education, health, and sports are working in Ethiopia.
About 3,500 Ethiopians, among university and technological students, have been graduated in Cuba.
