Santa Clara, November 30 (Prensa Latina)-- President Miguel Díaz-Canel presided over the tribute for the 70th anniversary of the Marta Abreu de las Villas Central University (UCLV).

The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) studied at this university in Santa Clara as an electronic engineer and discussed, in March 2021, his doctorate on the system of Government based on science and innovation for the sustainable development of the country.

The Minister of Higher Education and former rector of this university, José Ramón Saborido, will receive on this occasion the status of Doctor Honoris Causa.
