The Cuban Minister of Communications, Mayra Arevich, discussed the priorities of her nation as a member of the BRICS in an interview with the international network TVBrics in Russia.
The minister is leading the Cuban delegation at the Innovations and Services Fair and at the Digital Forum, which have been taking place since June 2.
According to Arevich, the collaboration with the BRICS provides Cuba with new opportunities in the areas of science, technology, and international collaboration.
She also mentioned that Cuba was granted the status of a BRICS partner nation in 2024, and since then, it has been actively pursuing joint projects.
Furthermore, she noted that the association has elevated the status of the Havana Science and Technology Park.
The Cuban official emphasized that the island is dedicated not only to technological advancements, but also to social progress.
In her opinion, Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel has emphasized three crucial areas – online work, promotion of social initiatives, and enhancement of educational standards, particularly in the realm of modern information technologies.
In this context, she pointed out that the digital forum has presented a valuable platform for Cuba to expand its capabilities in these domains.
