Havana Trade Fair Lures Attendance from 52 Nations

Havana, Nov 4 (Prensa Latina) More than 1,200 entrepreneurs from 52
nations of the world will take part at the Havana International Fair
(FIHAV) slated to start November 5 said Abraham Maciques, president of
the Organizing Committee.

Canada, China, Italy, Panama and Spain will be the foreign countries
with the biggest representation in the 25th edition of FIHAV, the
greatest commercial fair in Cuba and one of the most important in the
region.

Maciques said there will be 15 pavilions and important delegations
coming from Brazil, Belgium, Argentina, France, Mexico, France,
Venezuela and US.

The US delegation will be bigger than in the 24th edition, and will be
headed by the Governor of the US state of Nebraska, and other
representatives.

Turkey and Iran will be among a group of nations with an important
participation, and FIHAV 2007 will be preceded by the 2nd Non Aligned
Movement Business Forum from November 1 to 3 at the Havana Convention
Center.

Raul Becerra, president of the Cuban Commerce Chamber, organizer of
FIHAV 2007, said that up to now, 180 entrepreneurs from more than 35
nations will take part in the 2nd NAM Business Forum, with
representatives of 24 national commerce chambers and no less than 16
NAM great personalities.

The wide participation of entrepreneurs in the 25th edition of the
Havana International Fair will show the world's rejection to the
blockade of the United States government against Cuba.

"With the biggest participation of countries and managers we will show
the rejection to the anti-Cuban politics of Washington," Maciques
specified after condemning the worsening of the hostility on the part
of the administration of George W. Bush.

Many of the assistants to the NAM meeting then will participate in
FIHAV, Cuban Foreign Trade Vice Minister Luis Padron expressed.

According to the program, the inaugural session will be next Friday,
for there will be sessions in panels on the South-South cooperation in
science, energy, public health, education and others.

The second panel will be in charge of the cooperation and economic
integration, the regional experiences and the role of the enterprise
sector, and the third will turn about international trade, and formulas
and possibilities of enlarging the exchange.
