Cuba and Spain agreed to promote the island’s exports to the Iberian country as a primary action for this year, the president of the Cuban Chamber of Commerce Antonio Carricarte stressed on Wednesday.
The official’s statement, disclosed on his Twitter account, came after the meeting he had with the president of the Association of Spanish Entrepreneurs in Cuba, Xulio Fontecha, in which they also advocated the linking of exports with local productions.

Spain is an important commercial partner of Cuba and is usually the state with the highest representation at the Havana International Fair, which, in its last edition of November 2019, was attended by more than 110 companies.

As stated during the meeting by the CEO of the public business entity ICEX Spain, Maria Peña, the foreign trade of her country with Cuba grows nine percentage points higher than the Spanish exchange with the rest of the world.

Spain, the third largest exporter to the Cuban market and its first investor, continues to implement new tools to support bilateral investment and trade, she said.
