St Kitts and Nevis and Cuba established a Diplomatic Relationship in 1995, and our Present Prime Minister- Dr Drew, was among the first set of Students to benefit from the Scholarships offered by The Republic of Cuba. To date, over 100 Students have studied in Cuba in various disciplines, including Medicine, Engineering, Psychology and Education, and there are others present in Cuba.
