During his stay in Kuala Lumpur, which coincided with the 50th anniversary of bilateral relations, the parties discussed Cuba’s advanced biotechnology industry. Ambassador Radzi emphasized their desire to explore this potential more thoroughly to establish effective collaboration and knowledge exchange. “This is a niche we can develop in the near future,” he stated in an interview with Prensa Latina.

Education is another area where both countries can collaborate. The ambassador noted that Cuba has benefited from the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Program, to which his government allocates funds as part of its South-South cooperation policy. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations, the embassy also announced a series of master’s scholarships for young Cuban professionals to study at universities in Malaysia.

Additionally, both countries are members of the G77+China and the UN, organizations in which Cuba plays a significant role. Radzi expressed hope for continued collaboration in these international mechanisms.
