strengthen ties in the field of biotechnology.
“A delegation from Vabiotech headed by its director Nguyen

future projects. The Vietnamese representatives were updated on the work of the
institution,” according to a message from the Cuban institute on the social
network X, as cited by Cuban news agency Prensa Latina (PL).

production in Vietnam. It has sent many Vietnamese technicians and managers to
Cuba’s biological centres and advanced laboratories for short-term training, and
invited Cuban experts to Vietnam for technical training for vaccine production
facilities and quality monitoring agencies in the country./.
