Cuba to pay attention over medicine production in Sri Lanka

The Cuban government is paying attention to the production of medicine in Sri Lanka, Cuban Ambassador to Sri Lanka Andres Marcelo Gonzalez Gorrido said.

He mentioned this during discussions held at the Prime Minister's office recently, while conveying the greetings of the Cuban government to Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya.

Further, strengthening the almost 65-year-long diplomatic relationship between Sri Lanka and Cuba, resuming the stopped mosquito control projects implemented under Cuban aid, providing scholarships in medical and sports education for training institutes and universities in Sri Lanka were also discussed.

Despite the economic challenges faced by Cuba during the past few years, the Prime Minister expressed her gratitude for Cuba's continued support and extended an official invitation to the Cuban Prime Minister to visit Sri Lanka.
