T&T reaffirms trade ties with Cuba
Port of Spain, June 6th.- MINISTER of Trade and Industry Paula Gopee-Scoon recently met with Cuba's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Rogelio Sierra Diaz to discuss, among other things, opportunities for increased trade with Cuba. Trinidad and Tobago is currently Cuba's largest Caricom trading partner, recording 80 per cent of trade in the region.
Sierra Diaz said his visit was part of the active re-engagement of partners under the leadership of Cuba's new president, Miguel Diaz-Canel, who was elected earlier this year. He indicated that Cuba recorded significant investment in 2017 in the Mariel Special Economic Development Zone, which is a symbol of economic collaboration and continues to seek out new foreign investment.
