HAVANA: Deputy Prime Minister of Saint Lucia, Philip J. Pierre, said here that his government and Cuba will work on finding ways to increase bilateral trade and the exchange with other Caribbean states.
According to the official, the idea is to expand exports from all sides and opportunities of each market to introduce more products.
Pierre told Prensa Latina that an important aspect in shaping new strategies will be the transportation, as the parties must be able to move goods, but also their staff.
After thanking the welcome he received during his first stay in Havana, the visitor highlighted as an essential aspect in bilateral relations Cuba’s help in the training of medical personnel and the deployment of its doctors in the national health system of Saint Lucia.
The Deputy Minister highlighted the permanent disposition of the island to welcome in their universities to new students from different specialties, despite also being a poor nation and subject to economic, financial and commercial blockade of the United States for more than half a century.
He also reiterated the support of Saint Lucia in all international forums to the Cuban struggle for the immediate lifting of that policy, whose economic damage exceed 833, 755 billion dollars.
Pierre arrived in the Caribbean nation last Monday on a working visit with an agenda that included talks with Vice President of the Council of Ministers, Ricardo Cabrisas, and other representatives of local government.
The talks dealt with topics such as cooperation and trade in sectors like construction, energy and transport, as well as regional integration processes and other global issues.
