Cuba Seeks Business Ties in South Korea
HAVANA TIMES — A delegation of the Cuban government led by Noel Vazquez Perez, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment, arrived in South Korea on Monday for a five-day visit, reported AFP.
“The Cuban representatives are here to speak solely about commerce,” said South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Cho Byung-Je.
Havana has been importing parts for vehicles and power generators from South Korea through intermediaries, but now it wants to re-establish direct business contacts and expand imports, reported the newspaper Chosun Ilbo, quoting a source at the Foreign Ministry.
This is an unprecedented event ever since the Asian country severed ties with the island after the island’s revolutionary victory in 1959.
