During a tour of several pavilions, the President noted the presence of foreign businesspeople, which he considered a sign of confidence in Cuba, despite the difficulties stemming from the blockade.

He acknowledged that some businesspeople have outstanding commitments to the country, but highlighted their continued presence in the Cuban market as a sign of respect and solidarity, factors that strengthen trade relations.

Diaz-Canel also expressed his gratitude for the participation of Cuban businesspeople residing abroad, who are joining the economic actors that contribute to building socialism under the current conditions.

FIHAV 2025, considered Cuba's main trade fair, brings together representatives from various sectors and provides a space for economic exchange and the search for investment opportunities.
