The governments of Cuba and Peru will sign today in this capital several cooperation agreements as part of the current visit of President Ollanta Humala.

According to official sources, the agreements involve the technical, judicial and educational fields, including the mutual recognition of higher studies, diplomas and certificates.

Under the new agreements, the parties will give a boost to bilateral links, mostly expressed in the social field.

More than 800 Peruvian youngsters have graduated from universities in Cuba, where another 1,130 are currently doing studies, mainly in medical schools.

A brigade of 24 Cubans are collaborating in the literacy and post-literacy programs Yo Si Puedo (Yes, I Can) and Yo Si Puedo Seguir (Yes, I Can Go on) in Peru, which have benefited millions of people worldwide.

President Humala arrived in this capital yesterday afternoon, accompanied by a large delegation.

Havana and Lima started official relations in 1902, which broke in December, 1960, and were re-established in July, 1972.
