We are cooperating with other countries in this field, including Venezuela, USA, and some in Europe”, said Oscar Gonzalez, ensuring that an invitation had been made to the Angolan Government to be part of the project.
"We offer Angola the possibility of cooperating in the field of Biotechnology and medicine production, including technology transfer. Angola could become a Technological Development Center in the area, in Africa”He added.
