The granting of the distinction followed a decision by the Cuban university staff to acknowledge those young people, who obtained excellent grades and kept in touch with the faculty in the eastern province of Camagüey.

During the ceremony, Cuban Professor Enrique Ramirez, read the resolution stipulating the granting of the Distinction, which is bestowed, for the first time ever, on foreign Students. Professor Ramirez praised the alumni's professional skills and their solidarity with Cuba.

Meanwhile, Cuban Ambassador to Grenada, Margarita Delgado, said that the graduation of the Grenadian students was in the framework of Cuba's cooperation with Grenada and other Third World nations the world over.

Grenada's Education Minister Franca Bernardine highlighted the high-quality training Cuba provides for Cuban and foreign students alike and she expressed her satisfaction over the high distinction granted to the Grenadian professionals.

On behalf of the alumni, Asquit Duncan thanked Cuban authorities and professors at the university faculty for what he described as 'a noble gesture' and reiterated their support for the Cuban people and the Revolution.
