Ambassador meets with Mongolian students to study in Cuba (+Photo)

Ulaanbaatar, Nov 8 (Prensa Latina) Cuba's Ambassador to Mongolia, Jorge Ferrer, met in this capital on Wednesday with outstanding students from this nation who will study at Cuban universities next year.

Many will study medicine as part of Cuba’s solidarity program of free scholarships for developing countries.

Since 1963, some 140 Mongolian professionals have graduated in medicine, stomatology, and other studies related to engineering, Cuba’s diplomatic legation in Ulaanbaatar informed.

During the meeting, which the families of the Mongolian students also attended, Ferrer updated them on Cuba’s situation and the effects of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States against the island.

The diplomat also explained the practical nature of medical science teaching and the achievements of Cuba’s biopharmaceutical industry.

The Cuban ambassador finally congratulated the young Mongolians for winning the scholarships, thanks to their academic performance, and wished them success in their studies.

The Cuban government decided to increase the number of scholarships for Mongolian youth from 2024 modestly, taking into account the traditional friendship relations between the two countries and as an initiative of Havana’s presidency of the G77+China to promote South-South cooperation.
