The Cooperation between Saint Kitts and Nevis and Cuba strengthens with the incorporation of the first UNECA S.A. brigade in the country.
Basseterre, November 4, 2024- This weekend, four professionals in the construction sector arrived in Basseterre and will form the first brigade of the Union of Companies CARIBE S.A (UNECA S.A.) in this Caribbean nation.
Three civil engineers and an architect, are the cooperants who have just joined the Cuban state mission in the Federation. These, accompanied by the Ambassador of Cuba, David Rivero Pérez, were received by the Minister of Public Infrastructure, Konris Maynard, the Permanent Secretary of that ministry, Daryll Lloyd, as well as by other managers and officials of the Department of Public Works.
Minister Maynard, after his warm welcome and words of gratitude for the solidarity and historical cooperation that Cuba has offered, explained to our professionals that they will contribute to the development of various construction projects that his government intends to deploy in the short and medium term.
UNECA S.A. has extensive experience in advice, technical assistance, management, design-constructive projects and technical consulting, in areas of construction and infrastructure. For more than 40 years, our country has maintained bilateral cooperation agreements in the sector with more than 30 countries, mainly from the Caribbean and Africa.
The arrival of these professionals marks the beginning of a new and prolific stage of cooperation in this matter, said Ambassador Rivero Pérez, during his speech at the welcoming ceremony.
