Relations between the two countries in higher education and innovation are mutually beneficial and aligned with the 2030 Strategy presented by President Emmerson D. Mnangagwa, Kanhukamwe stated.
During the meeting on the Institute’s campus, Perez Mesa updated Kanhukamwe and other officials present on the effects of the US blockade and the recent executive order that seeks to tighten it by restricting fuel imports.
The ambassador also highlighted the historic ties between the African nation and the Caribbean island, established just two days after Zimbabwe’s independence and marked by 40 years of cooperation in 2026.
Kanhukamwe and Perez Mesa reviewed the status of ongoing projects with HIT, including their implementation phases, and identified other opportunities for collaboration.
The diplomat, accompanied by Minister Counselor Luis Enrique Gonzalez, toured areas of the higher education center related to bilateral projects.
Kanhukamwe, along with his management team, thanked the Cuban ambassador for her visit and reiterated their commitment to taking the necessary steps to strengthen existing agreements.
Perez Mesa praised the excellent state of relations between the two countries, as evidenced by the exchange of delegations in 2025, including the visit of Cuban Parliament President Esteban Lazo Hernandez to Harare, as well as a special envoy from the President of Zimbabwe, two ministers, and three deputy ministers to Havana.
