Havana, Dec 19 (RHC) Representatives of the United States (US) agricultural sector affirmed in Washington that for years they have defended trade ties with Cuba.

The above transcended in an exchange of members of the U.S. Agricultural Coalition for Cuba, the Arkansas Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee, as well as groups interested in trade with the Caribbean country and congressional offices with jurisdiction on the subject, diplomats of the island, at its embassy in the northern nation.

The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investment (Mincex) reports on its website on Monday that the meeting pointed out the need for a new regulatory framework that does not deprive the Cuban economy of access to monetary resources and that facilitates its growth and normal operation.

"Those present emphasized that this would allow the expansion of two-way trade and cooperation for the benefit of both countries," Mincex points out.

The U.S. agricultural sector’s commitment to the Cuban market was highlighted by the head of the diplomatic mission, Lianys Torres Rivera, who mentioned the letters addressed to President Joseph Biden requesting the lifting of sanctions against the Island.

The diplomat also recalled the participation of U.S. representatives in the III Conference on Agriculture in Havana, the First Business Forum with Cuba, and the visit of a bipartisan Congressional delegation focused on that area.

She also highlighted the constant process of socio-economic transformations that Cuba is undergoing, which are leading to greater opportunities for bilateral interaction. (Source: ACN)
