Crimea plans to develop cooperation with Cuba in various fields. At the end of the year, representatives of the Crimean Peninsula will go to Cuba to present rograms on education, trade and tourism, TASS reports.

According to Natalya Serova, who heads the Southern Regional Export Support Center, it is expected that contracts will be signed in December. She called interaction with Cuba one of the most promising areas for the peninsula. The Crimeans are going to supply Cuba with tourist services, as well as services in the educational sphere and in the cinema industry. An important place will be taken by the supply of goods, including foodstuffs, grain, cereals, components for the pharmaceutical industry.

Representative of the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University Vladimir Kuryanov assured that the university was ready to host students from Latin American countries in general and Cuban applicants in particular. Much of the education system borrowed from the Soviet Union has survived in Cuba. Therefore, it is easier for Cubans to study in Russia. Cooperation will begin next year; the epidemiological situation does not allow for this in the coming months.  The university has extensive experience in teaching Russian as a foreign language, Kuryanov assured.
