Cuba will host for the first time the International Symposium on Trade and Service Development, May 19-22 in Havana.

The forum, being organized by the Cuban Domestic Trade Ministry, will address the unfolding of domestic trade amidst ongoing economic changes and will include roundtables, discussion panels, and key-note lectures by representatives of local and international participants.

Some of the topics on the forum´s agenda include logistics, design and management of warehouses, non-state service modalities in Cuba, and cooperatives in the non-agriculture sector.

Observers say that the forum, to take place at Havana´s Conventions Center, will allow the exchange of expertise and the debate of ideas related to the sustainable development of wholesale and retail market operations.
