in Session
Moscow - A plenary
session and 12 work
groups with
vicepresidents,
ministers, deputy
ministers and experts
are officially meeting
as of Thursday in this
capital, to bring
Russian-Cuban economic
and trade links closer
to the political
relations level.
The Ninth Session of the

Collaboration Commission
starts today in Moscow
the official program
with speeches by Russian
Deputy Prime Minister
Igor Sechin, and Cuban
Council of Ministers
vice president Ricardo
Cabrisas.
After the opening
session, the specialized
groups moved to the
corresponding ministries
and institutions to
debate accords discussed
to the highest level
since 1991.
There are some
expectations that joint
projects can be firmed
up in the field of the
economic-trade and
bank-financial
relations.
A promising sector is
that of oil and
electricity, where both
parties have repeatedly
fostered cooperation,

Other branches that have
advanced in the last few
years are automobile,
railway, naval and civil

group are Russian Deputy
Industry and Trade
Minister Denis Manturov,
Francisco Machado, Cuban
