The internationalization of Cuban higher education is consolidating in Eurasia through the academic mobility program with Russia. The third edition of this program currently features a multidisciplinary team of professors from the University of Holguín (UHo) undertaking highly specialized research stays in Russia.

The village of Boca de Samá, in the coastal municipality of Banes, Holguín, today recalls the attack that disrupted its peace 55 years ago. This small community of fishermen and farmers was the victim, on October 12, 1971, of an armed attack carried out by counterrevolutionary elements from Florida and financed by the United States government.

The city of Holguín is gearing up to host the 32nd Ibero-American Culture Festival, which will take place from October 24 to 30, 2026.

Deputy Prime Minister Inés María Chapman Waugh visited Holguin to assess the province’s preparations and actions aimed at guaranteeing the water supply to the population. This visit took place against the backdrop of the intensified U.S. blockade against Cuba, which seeks to strangle the country economically.
