PHNOM PENH - Cuba wants to cooperate with Cambodia in the fields of agriculture and health in order to strengthen and expand bilateral ties, said the new designated Cuban ambassador to Cambodia Jose Ramon R. Yarona on Monday.
Jose Ramon R. Yarona made the comments during a meeting with Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen at the Peace Palace.
He said Cuba and Cambodia have the possibility of launching cooperation in agriculture, pesticides and health, especially medicines for cancer prevention.
Meanwhile, he also invited the premier to visit Cuba at an appropriate time.
In response, Hun Sen accepted the invitation and said that he would make a visit to Cuba sometime in the future.
He recommended Jose Ramon R. Yarona to work with Cambodia's ministries of agriculture and health to seek cooperation in the proposed fields.
Cambodia and Cuba have established diplomatic relations for 50 years, but bilateral trade and investment are relatively small.
