FAO Recognizes Cuba's Contribution to Other Peoples

Havana, August 7 (acn) Cuba's cooperation with other peoples through 
the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was 
recognized on Monday by Francisco Arias Milla, a representative of that 
organization.

In statements published by the digital edition of the Granma newspaper, 
Arias Milla, who concludes a five-year working period on the island, 
explained that there are currently around 40 Cuban specialists carrying 
out FAO missions in several countries.

"They not only take their technological knowledge with them but also 
their discipline and their working ethics," he stressed.

Arias Milla noted that there is an agreement between Cuba and FAO 
according to which the international organization can benefit from the 
assistance of 200 Cuban specialists for diverse projects, mainly in 
Africa, South America and the Caribbean, although their goal is to 
increase the number up to 300.

Now, Arias Milla will travel to Venezuela to support Venezuelan and 
Cuban joint initiatives as part of the Bolivarian Alternative for the 
Americas (ALBA) integration project for Latin America and the Caribbean.
