Evaluating the potential for collaboration with Vietnamese institutions. It is among the main objectives of the working visit in Hanoi by the deputy head of the Ministry of Higher Education (MES in the Spanish acronym) of Cuba, Reynaldo Velázquez.
Although there is a tradition of cooperation that dates back many years. We are at a good time to reach a new stage and strengthen the links between higher education centers in both countries, Velázquez said in statements to Prensa Latina.
Vietnamese universities today show remarkable advances that we want to share with Cuban academy, said the deputy minister and pointed out that this collaboration could be carried out through joint projects. Mainly with the four universities that he will visit during his stay in Vietnam.
Which will be extended until next Thursday. As part of the program of activities, Velázquez held a fraternal meeting today with Vietnamese students who graduated in Cuba. To whom he explained that from three universities that existed in the 1960s.
Today there are 50 higher education centers in the country. Cuba has already trained more than 84,000 international students. “Who have become one of the most important sources from which solidarity is nourished.”
He also stressed that Cuban universities have always undertaken the main tasks of the Revolution and that today the emphasis is placed on research and the application of science and innovation. Essentially in sectors such as energy, food production and the biopharmaceutical industry.
The deputy minister of the MES also announced the celebration in Havana. From February 9 to 13 of next year, of the University Congress 2026. One of the most important events of its kind in Latin America and the Caribbean.
That in the context of the same, the First International Meeting of Graduates will be held in Cuba. We hope, he said, to have a representation of Vietnam in that fórum. With which we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the MES and the university network. To do so with a special motivation: the centenary of the birth of the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro. An architect of that solidarity movement in the field of education.
