In statements to Prensa Latina news agency, Chaple said that they are encouraging Cuban entrepreneurs to look closely at Guatemala for their exports and that Guatemala should also increase its interest in Cuban exports of products and services.

Entrepreneurs from the two countries must learn more the business opportunities both countries are offering, he noted.
