Reyes pointed out that the parties seek to share open source platforms to implement government services, training projects and education in emerging technologies, as well as the creation of a high-performance computing center, among other initiatives. "It was a profitable exchange that will undoubtedly lead to the strengthening of the relationship between both nations in the information and communication technology sector," he said. Likewise, the Cuban Vice Minister of Communications and the experts who accompany her had a meeting with the board of directors of the National Association of Software and Services Companies.

"Indian companies have a high level and we intend to complement, integrate and articulate based on the potential to train personnel in the information technology sector," he asserted.
