More than a hundred Mongolian youngsters have graduated from higher education institutions in Cuba, the Cubaminrex website reported.

Since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution six decades ago, 160 Mongolian students have received their degrees in specialties such as medicine, stomatology, engineering, pharmacy, sports, among others, on the Caribbean island.

In Ulaanbaatar,  Cuban Ambassador Raul Delgado handed the confirmation to three young Mongolians selected to join the educational programme that Cuba offers to the Asian nation. Two will receive free medical training and a third will study biochemistry, joining 16 of their compatriots currently studying at Cuban universities.

Mongolia and Cuba are set to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2020.
