EEC and Cuba plan to hold joint events on Eurasian Economic Forum's sidelines

The EEC representative proposed to use the EEF platform opportunities to hold working meetings with government agencies and business community of the Union countries and Cuba.
The Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba supported this initiative and informed that in addition to the country's official representatives, a business delegation from the Chamber of Commerce of Cuba is being formed to participate in the visit, which is interested in establishing direct contacts with the EAEU Member States' business circles.
