Oslo, January 8, 2024. The Ambassador of Cuba, Mrs. Maité Rivero Torres, was received by the Norwegian Minister of Research and Higher Education, Sandra Borch.
The Ambassador availed herself of the opportunity to personally hand over to the Norwegian Minister a letter sent by her Cuban counterpart, Dr. Walter Baluja García, with an invitation to participate at the 14th International Congress on Higher Education “University 2024”, which will take place in Havana, from February 5 to 9, 2024, with the theme “Higher Education of the Future: social transformation, quality, relevance and sustainability”.
