   NO other country has left such a great imprint on Pakistan, from Shakote to   
   Banna Alai, affirmed Major General Farooq Khan, federal aid commissioner,   
   speaking in an event at the Cuban field hospital in Mansehra.   
      
   The ceremony was to acknowledge the medical attention given to more than one   
   million patients by members of the Henry Reeve International Contingent, who   
   have been lending solidarity aid to earthquake victims.   
      
   He noted that his government had asked Cuba if the contingent could remain   
   until March so as to avoid creating chaos within the Pakistani health system   
   and the response was that Cuban aid would continue as long as necessary,.   
   From the bottom of his heart he expressed thanks for Cuba's gesture of   
   solidarity in donating all the field hospitals with their equipment and   
   offering 1,000 scholarships to Pakistani students to study medicine in Cuba.   
      
   "You will remain in the hearts of Pakistanis for a long time," affirmed   
   Farooq Khan, describing as very noble this humane task on the part of the   
   Cuban doctors, so far from their country and families. Cuba and Pakistan   
   have created very strong ties of friendship.   
      
   During the event, Khan presented Bruno Rodríguez Padilla, first deputy   
   minister of Foreign Affairs and the Cuban government representative for the   
   solidarity and aid mission, with a plaque of acknowledgement of the   
   Contingent 's work from the Pakistani government.
