Description:
<p>Academic exchanges (scientific, educational, and cultural), understood as a form of transnational collaboration between the intellectual communities of two countries, play an important role in international relations and can contribute to the eventual resolution of conflicts between nations. In the case of Cuba and the United States, the development of exchanges on a more or less regular basis has coincided with periods of less tension in bilateral relations, and exchanges have been an important factor in the pursuit of normalization. The present situation in Cuba-U.S. relations is not normal and does not contribute in any way to the mutual benefit of the two countries and peoples. Fostering such exchanges will contribute to the mutual understanding of contradictory interests and to the realistic aspiration of the two societies' someday coexisting in peace and harmony.</p>
