THE communication that Cubas ambassador sent to the Commission for Followup, Impetus, and Verification in Colombia on March 13 was no routine matter.
Ambassador Jose Luis Ponce Caballero informed the commission of the Cuban governments offer of one thousand scholarships to pursue studies for a medical career in Cuba as [a] contribution to the process of implementation of the agreement in Havana and to the post-conflict.
On November 24 2016 Colombias government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) signed an agreement ending decades of civil war.
The commission was a product of that agreement. Cubas offer of medical scholarships is symbolic of the nations enduring commitment to peace in Colombia. The country had already hosted the negotiations leading to the agreement, talks that stretched over four years.
