Mexican IT students in China for training

MEXICO CITY - Ten Mexican university students traveled to China in early November to receive two weeks of information technology training, Mexico's communications and transport ministry said.

Students earned the opportunity to develop their IT skills in China through Seeds for the Future, a scholarship program organized by Chinese technology giant Huawei, in conjunction with the ministry, the ministry said in a statement.

At a ceremony at Huawei's headquarters in Mexico City to present the winning students with their scholarships, Deputy Communications Minister Edgar Olvera underscored the importance of IT in today's world.
