Chile seeks closer trade links with Cuba
Agriculture and health are two sectors that stand to benefit following relaxing of the Caribbean country’s foreign investment laws
Government representatives and member of more than 15 companies formed part in a Chilean trade mission to Cuba to foster new business opportunities between the two countries.
The visit follows a realignment of Cuban economic policy that has resulted in the Caribbean country becoming increasingly open to foreign investment and trade. Agriculture and health were the two sectors singled out as being ripe for investment from overseas.
Asoex president Ronald Bown and representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture were among those who took part in the initiative.
During the visit, the Cuban government presented a total of 240 projects that could be of interest to foreign investors worth an estimated US$8.7bn.
