In an interview with Prensa Latina during the celebrations of the National Day of the Andean-Amazon country, the National Director of Export Promotion, Ana López, explained that it is of great importance to be able to specify commercial intentions in these areas, and show the possibilities in relation to Lithium and Bolivian tourism.
The South American nation’s representative said that both countries are characterized by business complementarity and they hope to “work on developing agreements with lithium, thereby reaching strategic alliances and cooperation agreements in this regard.”
The day’s commemoration was attended by Cuba’s First Vice Minister of Foreign Trade, Ana Teresita González, who celebrated last October the start of direct flights by the airline Boliviana de Aviación (BOA) to the largest of the Antilles, establishing a regular weekly route from the department of Santa Cruz .
“We were incredibly happy that Bolivian businessmen interested in investing in our country arrived on this flight,” said González.
He recalled the historical ties of both nations as well as the economic complementarity agreement, designed since 2000 within the framework of the ExpoAladi Multisector Business Macroround, which grants 100 percent tariff preferences.
He stressed that the two countries need to deepen strategies that enable increased commercial exchanges, and that in doing so, Fihav 2023 can open new doors for joint ventures.
This Tuesday also marks the national day of India, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Uganda, Italy and Venezuela at the international fair in Havana.
There was also a meeting of the VI. Investment forum, the start of the construction fair (Fecons 2024) and a panel on the Mariel Special Development Zone.
There is also a panel on Cuba’s industrial capabilities for its development with foreign capital.
Fihav 2023, which runs until November 11 at the Expocuba site, is considered the most important commercial exchange in Cuba and the Caribbean and among its attractions is the promotion of exportable funds from the largest in the Antilles, both state-managed and new economic actors.
