Havana, June 30 – Social communication is one of the pillars of government administration, a priority for the country and must be promoted internally, which is also what the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA) must provide to the external public.

To this end, I announce that new meetings of this type will be held during the year, with the press and in conjunction with our practitioners, in search of solutions to the lack of media and communication that some communications still have, because I do not know of a conception without a mobile phone or institutional mobile data, so that they can carry out good work.

He also pointed out the need to strengthen working relations with the press and journalists who deal with the organization’s issues, and stressed the support of the Ministry’s senior management for the relevant activity.
