Cuba convenes 38th edition of Havana International Fair

Havana, March 2 (RHC)-- The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment (MINCEX) convened the 38th Havana International Fair, FIHAV 2022, after two years suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The sanitary situation created in the country and the world by that disease prevented in 2020 and 2021 the celebration of the largest commercial exchange in Cuba and the Caribbean.

The head of MINCEX, Rodrigo Malmierca, explained at a press conference that the scenario has changed and that is why the 38th edition of the fair will be held from November 14 to 18 at the Expocuba fairgrounds.

FIHAV 2022 will be held despite the tightening of the U.S. economic, commercial and financial blockade, as an excellent business platform in which the Cuban business system and the new forms of non-state management will be present with samples of their productions and services.

For five days, all sectors of the Cuban economy and international representatives will show their potential and offers in a space conducive to meetings, business rounds, conferences and seminars, the V Business Forum with potential investors, and promotional activities of Cuban exportable funds.

As usual, delegations from each country will celebrate their national days in their respective pavilions, and a virtual business forum will be held for those who cannot travel to Cuba.

The Havana Fair will be open to all businessmen from all over the world, including those from the United States and Cubans living abroad. A large participation of the latter is expected, Malmierca said.

In the 37th edition of that commercial exchange in 2019, more than two thousand representatives of companies from more than 55 countries gathered at its usual Expocuba
