As evidence of the highest level reached by relations between Cuba and Mexico, representatives of the education sector signed a cooperation agreement in Havana.
The Cuban Ministry of Higher Education and the Mexican Ministry of Public Education signed an agreement aimed at establishing concrete actions.
The document is based on recent institutional exchanges and a summit between rectors held in the city of Querétaro, where the signing of 13 projects was promoted.
The two parties are working on key aspects for the economy, linking strategic productive sectors and improving the relationship between universities and companies.
The educational commitment followed the recent meeting of the working group between the two countries on technical-scientific, educational-cultural and commercial-economic cooperation for the period 2024-2026.
With the presence in Mexico of officials and businessmen of both nationalities, it was possible to analyze links in agribusiness, biopharmaceuticals, health, transportation, tourism and culture.
In previous months, the two countries reached agreements in the areas of environment, sugar and artificial intelligence.
The opening last November of the Mexican pavilion at the Havana International Fair, with offers from 25 companies, was important.
Cuban-invoiced Abdala vaccine against Covid-19, approved by COPREFIS, the Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks, has arrived in Mexico.
Some 600 Cuban health collaborators, mainly doctors, continue their work in areas far from Mexico's big cities, in support of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's plans to increase those benefits.
The friendly government sent medical supplies to Havana to help in the fight against the pandemic, in August 2022 to fight a fire at a supertanker base and later after the passage of a hurricane.
López Obrador has asked the U.S. administration to end the blockade of Cuba, a request reiterated recently when the two statesmen spoke on the phone about the causes that feed migratory flows in the region.
In 121 years of diplomatic relations, the paths that underscore the strength of solid ties based on friendship and commitments to the welfare of the peoples are evident.
