During a meeting in virtual format, the vice president of the CCC, Rubén Ramos, invited the Egyptian businessman to participate in the 38th edition of the Havana International Fair, which will be held from November 14 to 18.

He noted that numerous countries confirmed his participation in the event, including several Arab nations.

The official highlighted the efforts of the Caribbean island to expand its trade relations to various latitudes.

The Cuban ambassador to this North African nation, Tania Aguiar, and the executive director of the Engineering Industries Export Council, May Helmy, as well as its vice president Moemen Arafat and Salma Aziz, an official of the organization, participated in the videoconference. Last week representatives of both institutions had a first virtual meeting.

Last March, the CCC and the Egyptian Federation of Chambers of Commerce also analyzed actions to increase bilateral economic cooperation.

During a meeting parallel to that event, businessmen from the two countries discussed how to strengthen ties.
