Both sides reviewed ongoing ISA-assisted solar initiatives in Cuba and explored ways to accelerate project implementation, capacity building, and technology sharing. They also discussed opportunities to deepen cooperation through CDRI in enhancing climate resilience and disaster-prepared infrastructure.
The productive exchange underscored the growing convergence between India and Cuba on climate action and clean-energy priorities, highlighting a shared commitment to advancing sustainable solutions across the Global South.
