ISLAMABAD, Aug 31 (APP): Pakistan and Cuba plan to enhance links in higher education, particularly in the field of biotechnology.

This possibility was discussed by Chairman Higher Education Commission (HEC) Dr. Atta-Ur-Rehman during his meeting with Gustavo Machin Gomez, Cuban Ambassador to Pakistan at the HEC Secretariat Thursday.

Dr. Atta-ur-Rahman, appreciating the Cuban gesture of awarding Pakistan 1000 scholarships for studies in medicine, proposed a joint programme for the establishment of a Centre of Excellence in Biotechnology in Pakistan, which would be set up by HEC with Cuban technical expertise.

At present over 22,000 foreign students are studying in Cuba.
