Music unites Indonesia and Cuba

Havana, Jan 31 (Prensa Latina) Indonesia is participating for the first time in the Havana International Jazz Festival with a renowned saxophonist Yuyun George, which is the bridge that connects the peoples of our countries, Ambassador to Cuba, Nana Juliana, affirmed. The diplomat presided over Thursday evening's ceremony at the 1930 Hall of the emblematic Hotel Nacional de Cuba to celebrate the 65th anniversary of relations between her country and Cuba, based on shared values of mutual respect and deep cooperation.

“Today, that commitment continues as we stand together in forums such as G77+China, the Global South, and, most recently, BRICS+.” Indonesia became the first Southeast Asian member to join formally BRICS, “demonstrating our proactive approach to foreign policy,” the ambassador noted in his address to the audience.

Nana Juliana, current Ambassador to the Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, will complete her term in Havana in February after four years. She highlighted that Indonesia and Cuba signed five agreements during her four-year tenure.

She listed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Visa Exemption agreement for holders of diplomatic and service passports, Science, Technology, and Innovation, another between the chambers of commerce to promote economic cooperation; and letters of intent on the fight against drug trafficking and technical cooperation.

Cuba’s achievements in biotechnology and medical sciences, reflected in institutions such as the Center of Molecular Immunology (CIM), the Finlay Institute of Vaccines (IFV), and the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIGB) continue to inspire cooperation.
