En tiempos en que cada vez más la política aleja a Cuba de los Estados Unidos, instituciones de educación superior de ambos países apuestan por unirse en beneficio del conocimiento y el desarrollo, desde el Congreso Internacional Universidad 2020.
Así lo reflejaron Miriam Alpízar, viceministra de Educación Superior (MES), y Sally Crimmins, vicecanciller asociada de la Oficina de Asuntos Globales de la Universidad Estatal de Nueva York (SUNY por sus siglas en inglés), en Estados Unidos, al presentar sus firmas en un memorando de entendimiento que brindará nuevas oportunidades a los estudiantes de ambos países.

Cuba’s annual International Book Fair is underway in Havana. In many countries, book festivals are for the publishers. In Cuba, it’s all about the book-lover. The fair attracts tens of thousands of avid readers.
CGTN’s Michael Voss reports on how this event has become Cuba’s most important cultural festival of the year.
The Havana International Book Fair is held in a sprawling colonial era fortress overlooking Havana, its narrow passageways packed with people eager to see what’s for sale.

Hace hoy más de cien años, el 12 de junio de 1901, se realizaba la última votación que aprobaría uno de los documentos más terribles de la historia de nuestro país: la Enmienda Platt.
Al terminar la guerra mambisa en 1898, el gobierno de Estados Unidos se empeñó en inventar una fórmula de sujeción política que no tuviera demasiado tufo a anexión ni despertara el recelo de las potencias europeas, y que no levantara excesivas ampollas en la epidermis de los cubanos ya lacerada por la intervención. Tal fue el neocolonialismo; y la Enmienda Platt su instrumento político.

Cuba will offer a total of 1,000 medicine scholarships to Colombia over the next five years, handing out 100 per year to the ranks of the demobilised FARC guerrilla and another 100 to the government to distribute to aspiring Colombian doctors who were displaced or otherwise affected by the armed conflict.
