U.S. agricultural sector seeks to strengthen ties with Cuba

 

Havana, Dec 15 (RHC) For years, the U.S. agricultural sector has defended trade ties between Cuba and the United States, said members of the U.S. Agricultural Coalition for Cuba during a meeting with diplomats from the island.

 

The meeting, held at the Cuban Embassy in the United States, was also attended by members of the Arkansas Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee, groups interested in trade with Cuba, and U.S. Congressional offices with jurisdiction on the subject, the Cuban Foreign Ministry website reported today.

 

During the exchange, the need for a new regulatory framework that does not deprive the Cuban economy of access to monetary resources and facilitates its growth and normal functioning was stressed. This would allow the expansion of two-way trade and cooperation for the benefit of both countries, added those present.

 

Lianys Torres Rivera, head of the Cuban diplomatic Mission, recalled the commitment of the agricultural sector to the market of the Greater Antilles, expressed in letters addressed to President Biden requesting the lifting of sanctions against Cuba; as well as the participation in the III Conference on Agriculture in Havana, the 1st US-Cuba Business Forum and the visit of a bipartisan Congressional delegation focused on the sector.

 

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