Haiti, Cuba Expanding Cooperation
Havana
Haitian president-elect Rene Preval is exploring Friday new areas in which his nation and Cuba can cooperate, such as health and education.
Thursday, Preval and President Fidel Castro discussed issues that could be a starting point for a re-launching of both nation´s historical ties.
The two statesmen expressed interest to broaden Cuban aid to Haiti, mostly oriented towards health, but also on other key sectors to achieve stability in the neighbor Caribbean nation.
The president-elect came to the island accompanied by 60 young Haitians who have scholarships to study medicine here and 535 low-income patients who will have free eye surgery as part of Operation Miracle.
During their stay, the Haitian guests will meet with local officials and tour sites of scientific and social interest.
