In his post in Spanish language on X, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez wrote, “I confirmed the will and decision of our government to continue strengthening and expanding bilateral ties of friendship and cooperation.”
The president of the Latin American state wrote in another post that, “On the opening day of FIHAV2024, I met with Dr. Seyed Sattar Hashemi, Minister of Communications and Information Technology of the Islamic Republic of Iran, whom I thanked for his presence at the Fair.”
IRNA wrote on Tuesday that cyber security, artificial intelligence (AI), and human resources training were among the most important issues discussed during Hashemi’s second day of visit to Cuba.
The minister said on Tuesday that the cruel sanctions imposed on Iran and Cuba by the United States had failed to prevent the two countries from making technological progress.
Referring to a training program for half a million people seeking to master in AI fields in Iran, Hashemi said AI and robotics will be important topics in Iran-Cuba relations.
He also announced Iran’s readiness to train Cuban human resources in the field of robotics and AI.
The minister also attended the 40th edition of the Havana International Fair (FIHAV) which is being held from November 4 to 9, 2024 at the EXPOCUBA fairgrounds in the Cuban capital city.
Sixty countries from all regions of the world and 800 companies are expected to participate in the exhibition.
