Cuba, Honduras Sign Maritime Treaty

Havana, Oct 9 (Prensa Latina) Cuba and Honduras are due to sign a
Maritime Delimitation Treaty on occasion of President Manuel Zelaya's
visit to this capital Tuesday, in which he will meet with Cuban First
Vice President Raul Castro.

This visit will be an expression of the cordial links, and it falls
within the historic and deep ties of brotherhood and solidarity
existing between the Cuban and Honduran peoples, Granma newspaper
reported today.

Zelaya's agenda also includes visiting educational centers and sites of
scientific and social interest.

Cuba and Honduras reestablished diplomatic relations in January 2002,
but since 1998, after the passing of Hurricane Mitch, about 1,500 Cuban
collaborators have been worked in that Central American country.

Nearly 400 physicians from the island are currently working in
Honduras, while 1,000 young people from that nation are studying in
this country, 500 of them medicine.
