Cuba and Trinidad and Tobago have just ratified their commercial cooperation links during the fourth day of Havana’s International Trade Fair, ended on Saturday at the Expocuba exhibition complex.

Trinidadian ambassador Lester Efebo Wilkinson thanked Cuba for its cooperation in programs linked to medicine, agriculture and sports.

Wilkinson pointed out that over the last few years there has been a 35 to 45 million dollar increase in trade and up to now this year the figure is around 50 million, which shows the interest of business executives to increase products and offers to trade.

First Deputy Minister for Foreign Trade and Investment Antonio Luis Carricarte pointed out that there are possibilities of diversifying Trinidadian exports to Cuba which are concentrated mainly on ammonia.

He explained that Cuba can increase offers in the sectors of communications, computer science and the pharmaceutical industry, among others.

Trinidad and Tobago is a member of Caricom
