Guatemala Hosts Business
Meet with Cuba
Guatemala - More than 60
Guatemalan
businesspeople from
different sectors
attended on Wednesday a
seminar on business
opportunities for
Guatemalan microbusiness,
small business and
medium-sized business in
Cuba.
"It is important for us
to broaden and diversify
investments and exchange
with Cuba," said Deputy
Minister of Economy for
Integration Ruben
Morales at the inaugural
session.
He added that though
there has been an
interesting growth of
over 100 percent in the
last few years, there
are still great
opportunities to extend
it to other sectors,
including food.
Cuban Ambassador to
Guatemala, Omar Morales,
expressed his country's
willingness to place
economic links to the
same level of political,
fraternal ties existing
between both countries.
"Our economies are
complementary, and
possibilities of
cooperation and exchange
are infinite, not only
in health and education,
but also in fields
including energy, sugar
industry and
agriculture," he said.
Guatemala sells to Cuba
insecticides,
disinfectants, canned
ruit and meat, cereals,
dairy products and
beverages, and buys from
Cuba medicine, rum,
cigars and medical
equipment, among other
goods.
