Havana, May 20. —Authorities from Cuba and Belarus will open a dialogue space today in this capital to facilitate business ties in the areas of trade and investment.
The forum will be held in the context of the XII Session of the Intergovernmental Commission for Economic and Commercial Cooperation in Havana, whose opening day took place yesterday.
Held at the National Hotel of Cuba, the event will include presenting business opportunities in priority sectors for both nations to businesspeople, the Chamber of Commerce of the host country announced.
According to the entity, the meeting will also facilitate individual conversations between different companies with a view to establishing possible alliances.
The XII Session of the Intergovernmental Commission began its work this Monday, chaired by the European nation's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Evgeny Shestakov, and the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment (MINCEX, for its acronym in Spanish) on the island, Carlos Luis Jorge Méndez.
According to Mincex, the co-presidents confirmed "the mutual will to strengthen bilateral economic ties" and the existing potential in the health and biotechnology sectors, the agri-food branch, and industry in general.
The delegations examined the results of the work in these and other areas, as well as the perspectives for its continuity.
The two countries are united by historic ties of brotherhood, solidarity, and mutual respect, strengthened over 33 years of diplomatic relations, the organization emphasized in a press release.
The Commission for Economic and Commercial Cooperation is the governmental mechanism for monitoring commitments and projects in these branches.
Specifically, this XII Session aims to take concrete steps toward articulating the Bilateral Economic Agenda signed in June 2024 and projecting joint work, with an emphasis on the 2025-2026 period, while still visualizing results in the medium and long term, Mincex stated. (Text and photo: PL)
