Dominican Republic Ambassador David Piug visited the University of Kerala here as part of ongoing efforts to formalise academic ties with the universities of the Latin American nation on Wednesday.
Kerala University will collaborate with universities in the Dominican Republic for research in various avenues including trade, agriculture, culture, political systems, translational studies and tropical medicine.
“The common geography between Kerala and the Dominican Republic and the sizeable Indian diaspora there offer promising possibilities for the academic communities of both places to engage in fruitful dialogue and research”, Mr. Piug said, while pointing out there are about 200 Indians and people of Indian origin residing in the Dominican Republic.
