Cuba held to be a safe country for business

HAVANA, Cuba, Nov 17 (ACN) Brigette Reneé LeBlanc, the vice president of the African-American Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco—one of the most influential minority business organizations in California, represents and promotes African American business owners in that city—who is participating in the 38th Havana International Fair (FIHAV 2022) said that she is eager to return to the United States to dispel many misconceptions about Cuba among the members of her organization.

In statements to the Cuban press, she described FIHAV as one of the most important of its kind in Latin America and the Caribbean and Cuba as a safe country for business, and stressed that her meetings with local and foreign entrepreneurs and what she has learned about the opportunities that Cuba offers for foreign investment and trade convinced her to bring more businesspeople from the U.S. to next year’s Fair.

“We are very interested in Cuban history and culture, and back home we are going to share our experiences with other people, since we have business organizations all over the world that are involved with the Chambers of Commerce and we will tell them about Cuba so that they come here, and we also want Cuban businesspeople to travel to the United States,” she pointed out.

Ms. Reneé LeBlanc told Antonio Carricarte, president of the Cuban Chamber of Commerce, and other executives that she will work to improve bilateral trade relations.

FIHAV 2022 hosts a delegation of U.S. businesspeople opposed to the intensified blockade that their government imposes on Cuba.
