Many programs and agreement connected AUB with South America. Among them were the AUB Farm Teaching Program (1956–1970) where Students from numerous Latin America countries, such as Bolivia, Costa Rica, and Mexico—received agricultural training at AREC (AUB, April 10, 1970).

Early International Cooperation (1981): AUB reached out to cultural officers from several governments, including Mexico, to explore potential collaborations.
