NAM Business Forum this Week in Cuba

More than 200 representatives of 40 countries will attend the 2nd
Business Forum of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), scheduled to take
place next November 2 and 3 at Havana?s Conventions Center. The number
of participants at the forum may increase, since the gathering allows
NAM entrepreneurs professional to make contacts and hold discussions on
the most pressing problems of the world market, said experts with the
Cuban Chamber of Commerce.

The meeting will be attended by business people from Asia, Africa, 
Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and even from countries that 
are not Non-Aligned members, with the aim of considering issues 
relevant to commercial exchange. Following the forum?s inauguration 
ceremony next Friday, a first working panel will focus on South-South 
cooperation in the fields of science, energy, pharmaceutical and 
medical development, health care and education. A second panel will 
deal with economic cooperation and integration, regional experiences 
and the role of the entrepreneurial sector. And a third discussion will 
target international trade, ways and possibilities for trade 
enhancement.

The 2nd NAM Business Forum takes place in accordance with the Final 
Declaration of the 14th Non-Aligned Summit, held last year in Havana, 
in which Cuba was elected Chair of the Movement for the second time.

The 1st Forum, which focused on South-South cooperation, took place 
during the 13th Non-Aligned Summit, held in Malaysia in February 2003. 
One of the major agreements of that gathering was the setting up of a 
Business Council.

Participants at the upcoming forum will have the chance to expand their 
contacts with their attendance of the 25th Havana International Trade 
Fair on November 5. the trade fair is an important scenario for the 
promotion of export products and for the expansion of trade relations.
