Over 1,200 Companies to Participate in Havana Trade Fair

Havana, Oct 18 (acn) More than 1,200 companies from 50 countries have 
confirmed their participation in the 25th International Havana Trade 
Fair (FIHAV 2007), to take place from November 5 to 10.

According to Organizing Committee President Abraham Maciques, the
renting of areas for exhibition by foreign companies has increased by 
13 percent over last year.

Maciques noted that the increased number of foreign participants in the 
fair gives the island the opportunity to establish new joint-ventures 
and to have greater access to state-of-the-art technologies.

The trade fair, which will be attended by representatives from the five 
continents, will be held in Cuba's largest exhibition center -ExpoCuba- 
located 25 kilometers southeast of Havana.

The exhibition will cover an area of 3,000 square meters, with 320 
national companies involved in the fields of healthcare, agriculture, 
biotechnology and others exhibiting their products.

Just prior to FIHAV-2007, the Second Business Forum of the Non-Aligned 
Movement (NOAL) will take place on November 2-3 at Havana's Convention 
Center.

That meeting will include several rounds of negotiations and four 
panels devoted to international commerce and to the World Trade 
Organization (WTO).
