During a courtesy call by outgoing Cuban Ambassador Orlando Alvarez, President Boko hailed Cuba as a key partner, not just for Botswana, but for Southern African states like Namibia and Angola.
Ambassador Alvarez assured President Boko of Cuba’s commitment to collaborate with Botswana in areas like agriculture, education, and health. He said Cuba was keen on sharing expertise in irrigation, animal bio-technology, and veterinary medicine, among others.
The same day, French Ambassador Valerie Baraban also met President Boko, discussing bilateral relations in defence, security, environment, and cultural exchange. ENDS
