From November 24 to 29, the 41st Havana International Fair (FIHAV 2025) will take place, with the aim of exchanging and informing national and foreign businesspeople about business opportunities, as well as Cuba's productive and export potential.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Trade and Investment, said that this year's edition is taking place in a complex context characterized by the intensification of the U.S. government's economic, financial, and commercial blockade of Cuba, and the national situation aggravated by Hurricane Melissa's passage through the eastern part of the country.
Pérez-Oliva Fraga pointed out that the region's largest commercial exchange will host the 8th Investment Forum, at which an update of the Foreign Investment Opportunities Portfolio will be presented, and the Caribbean Banking Forum will also be held, with the aim of strengthening regional integration and promoting joint strategies between the countries of Caricom, the Caribbean Banking Association, and the Cuban banking system.
To date, he said, 16 official delegations and 47 countries have confirmed their participation, with a significant presence from China, as well as the Director of the Colon Free Zone in Panama, and the executive secretaries of ALBA-TCP and the Latin American Economic System, the Secretary General of the Latin American Integration Association, and 15 trade and foreign investment promotion agencies will also be present.
