Sino-Mexican scientific and technological cooperation involves physics, chemistry, mathematics, disasters reduction and earthquake prevention, industry, agriculture, communications and transportation, energy and construction. Four meetings of the Joint Scientific and Technological Cooperation Committee have been held and more than one hundred projects have been specified for implementation.
Mexico is one of the countries in Latin America that has most cultural exchanges with China. In September 2000, a large-scale cultural relic exhibition "China in Monarchal Period: Xi'an Dynasties" was held in dozens of states and cities in Mexico. In 2001, the Exhibition of Mayan Civilization was held in Guangzhou, Xi'an, Beijing, and Shanghai.
In November 1973, Mexican President Echeverria offered 20 scholarships to China on his own initiative. Since 1978 when the two governments signed an agreement on cultural cooperation, seven meetings of the Joint Cultural and Educational Committee have been held. In 1999 the two sides held the seventh meeting of the Joint Committee and signed the Executive Plan on Cultural and Educational Cooperation for 2000-2002. Up to 2001, China had sent 366 students and 23 person-time teachers to Mexico and accepted 186 students and 13 teachers from Mexico.
