The Administration Academy is actively developing cooperation with institutions of higher education in other countries and thanks to this videoconference, the main areas of joint work with Cuba have been outlined, which will begin in the very near future.

"We are honored to collaborate with the Academy of Management attached to the President of Belarus", - said the Rector of the Higher School of State and Government Cadres.

Rector Marat Zhilinsky proposed several directions for fruitful cooperation. Among them - the publication of articles of the Higher School of State and Government Cadres in the journal "Problems of management", the realization of a variety of joint projects, as well as conferences and round tables. In addition, the issue of mutual short-term internships will be actively discussed now.

The Cuban side fully supported the proposal from the Belarusian side and for the Administration Academy, in turn, there was a proposal for publications in APyE Cuban Journal of Public and Business Administration.
