Since she founded Invicta Group Services in 1995, Cuban-American Mildred Diaz has been doing her bit every day to bring her homeland closer to the United States.
A recurrent presence at the Havana International Fair since 2001, when she made her debut at the event, whose 39th edition takes place at the ExpoCuba venue, the president of Invicta Group said in an exclusive dialogue with Prensa Latina that her company's main mission is, above all, to support relations between the two countries.
Through regular flights departing every week from Miami and Tampa, as well as cargo flights, the company has already consolidated its position in the market and through it Americans have traveled to the island while other Cubans have been reunited with their families.
We do maritime containers and family to family and individual parcels. Regular flights bring Americans who come with their itinerary under the general license Support for the Cuban People, Diaz said.
Invicta organizes flights from Miami to four Cuban cities: Havana, Santa Clara, Camagüey and Holguín, while from Tampa there are trips to Santa Clara.
To a question about what motivated her to continue to maintain the link with her country, visibly moved, Diaz answered that one carries in one's blood the love for one's homeland, for one's loved ones, to support and help the island, which has been facing an economic, commercial and financial blockade by the United States for more than 60 years.
Therefore, through his company he has managed to bring not only passengers, but multiple loads of donations, especially during Covid-19. We help to deposit those donations in Cuba every time we are asked to do so and we always say yes, that is our mission, to help and support, he said.
Regarding the new economic actors in Cuba, particularly with regard to self-employed workers and small and medium-sized enterprises, the head of Invicta stressed that in this fair she has been able to feel how this sector is increasingly organized and in her case many have approached to learn more about transit services.
A few days before the IV Conference The Nation and Emigration, which will bring together hundreds of Cubans living in various parts of the world, Diaz stresses that it will be a great reunion with brothers and sisters.
For the occasion, through his company, they offered a special price on charters to those Cubans who will attend the event, to be held in Havana on November 18 and 19.
We are looking forward to meeting so many people who live abroad but all with the same common denominator: Cuba and family. We hope to have a nice meeting, it will be two very interesting and profitable days for dialogue, he concluded.
