The contribution of the South Asian nation to the island shows the close ties that both countries have, which this year celebrate the 65th anniversary of their diplomatic ties.
In June 2024, the Indian authorities sent humanitarian assistance to Cuba corresponding to raw materials for the production of medicines, as a reflection of their commitment to the historical friendship between the two nations.
These involved 90 tons of nine active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) manufactured in the South Asian country.
The shipment is used for the production of essential antibiotics in the dosage form of tablets, capsules, syrups and injections, necessary for the treatment of chronic communicable diseases.
The Foreign Ministry highlighted on that occasion that the aforementioned assistance reaffirms India's status as the Pharmacy of the World and underlines its commitment to the historical friendship with Cuba. (Text and photos: PL)
