Council of Ministers approved agreement with Cuba on mutual recognition of education documents

The Council of Ministers approved the intergovernmental agreement between Belarus and Cuba on the mutual recognition of documents on education, which was signed on November 18th, 2022 in Minsk – as follows from the Government Decree of February 8th, 2023 No. 112, which was published on the National Legal Internet Portal

The Foreign Ministry was instructed to send a notification about Belarus’ implementation of the domestic procedures necessary for the agreement’s entry into force.

As reported, the agreement was signed in November last year in Minsk by Belarus’ Education Minister Andrei Ivanets and Deputy Minister of Higher Education of Cuba Miriam Isabel Alpizar Santana.

The document envisages joint consultations on the implementation of the provisions of the agreement, informing each other about changes in the education systems of the two states, the creation of new educational institutions, as well as the exchange of names and samples of documents on education issued in the territory of both countries, and lists of accredited educational institutions. Now there are ten direct agreements between the two countries’ universities. The parties are confident that this is a good foundation for the further development of relations and deeper interaction.
