Havana, May 18 (RHC)—Cuba´s attraction to foreign investors has not dwindled despite the reinforcing of the US economic blockade, says the Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment, Rodrigo Malmierca.

In a meeting on Friday with over 100 foreign businessmen currently operating on the island,and diplomats accredited to the island,  Malmierca reiterated that the application of Title III of the Helms Burton Act seeks to discourage and frighten prospective foreign investors, and expressed the Cuban government´s firm opposition to it.

“We can assure that we are going to provide all sorts of guarantees within our legal framework to protect foreign investments and businesses in our country,” he said.
