In remarks to Prensa Latina, Becerra highlighted a larger participation in foreign and domestic fairs and exhibits, including the Havana International Fair (FIHAV 2008) in early November, attended by representatives of 1,420 companies from 56 nations.

FIHAV was also visited by 30 delegations of trade and investment promoting organizations from over 25 countries, he added.

We also hosted the fairs Expocaribe (in eastern Cuba) and Expocentro (in central Cuba), both including business rounds to promote trade and investment.

The CCC took part in over 10 international exhibits, including Expocomer (Panama), Cochabamba (Bolivia), Hanoi (Vietnam) and an exhibit of Cuban goods in Venezuela.

We also attended fairs in Algeria, Guatemala, Syria, Turkey, China and Spain, among others.

In 2009 the CCC will strengthen its main mission: the attention to its 840 Cuban producing and exporting companies taking part in joint ventures by including new services and consultancy, he announced.
