On his Twitter profile, the head of Cuban diplomacy confirmed to the participants of the 4th Cuban-American Agricultural Conference: his country’s interest and willingness to maintain and expand relations in this sphere.

During the event, which ended at the Grand Aston Hotel in this capital on Thursday, the US visitors advocated for the elimination of Washington’s blockade against Cuba and to establish normal trade relations, especially in this sector.
