Euskadi and Cuba strengthen ties / Euskadi y Cuba estrechan lazos

Posted on July 25, 2022July 26, 2022 by BP

The general assembly of the ‘AEVC‘, Association of Basque Entrepreneurs in Cuba and the visit of the Cuban ambassador to the Basque Country took place recently.

Recientemente ha tenido lugar la asamblea general de la ‘AEVC’, Asociación de Empresarios Vascos en Cuba y la visita del embajador de Cuba a Euskadi.

The Association of Basque Entrepreneurs in Cuba

The association has been bringing together Basque companies from different sectors in its association since 2001 with the aim of promoting and strengthening economic relations with Cuban organisations, entities and companies. In these more than two decades of activity, it has become a valuable reference both for the Basque business network present on the island and for those companies interested in setting up business in Cuba.

The industrial environment is the predominant sector in the association, which develops its activity in different areas: machinery, telecommunications, renewable energies, construction, household goods, enclosures, rubber parts, elevators, equipment for the chemical-pharmaceutical and automotive industries, fundamentally, as well as consultancy services.

The general assembly of this organisation was also attended by the Commercial Attaché of the Embassy, Mr. René Manuel Capote and the Director General of Basque Trade & Investment, Ainhoa Ondarzabal, as well as the Director of the Competitive Intelligence Unit of the Basque Agency for Internationalisation, Iván Fernández.

The Embassy presented the new measures implemented to liberalise the economy, which include the creation of Cuban ‘MSMEs’ and direct trade with them, new investment mechanisms, access to strategic sectors such as energy, etc., information of great interest for the Basque business community.

Visit of the Cuban ambassador to the Basque Country

Marcelino Medina, ambassador of the Republic of Cuba, visited the Basque Country over several days, holding interviews and meetings with representatives of the main Basque institutions and entities.

During his stay, Medina visited the Lehendakari with the aim of deepening the ties of “cooperation, trade, investment and solidarity”. The Cuban diplomat spoke with Iñigo Urkullu about the long history of relations between Cuba and the Basque Country, focusing on the different prospects for the future.

In 2021, Basque exports to Cuba were close to 100 million euros, a figure that has been falling over the last three years as a result of the economic crisis affecting the Caribbean island, accentuated by the effect of the COVID. Precisely after this stage, next November the FIHAV will take place in Havana, an international fair that will celebrate its XXXVIII edition and in which the Basque Country will have an exhibition pavilion.

FIHAV 2022 is the most important business event held in that country; it is multi-sectoral in nature and is the best option for making yourself known at the start of the Cuban market, the Basque Country’s main trading partner in the Caribbean and one of the largest in Latin America.

Recientemente ha tenido lugar la asamblea general de la ‘AEVC’, Asociación de Empresarios Vascos en Cuba y la visita del embajador de Cuba a Euskadi.

La Asociación de Empresarios Vascos en Cuba

AEVC reúne desde 2001 en su asociación a empresas vascas de diferentes sectores con el objetivo de promover y potenciar las relaciones económicas con los Organismos, Entidades y Empresas cubanas. En éstas más de dos décadas de actividad, se ha convertido en una valiosa referencia tanto para el tejido empresarial vasco presente en la isla, como para aquellas compañías que tienen interés por establecer negocios en Cuba.

El entorno industrial es el sector predominante en la AEVC, que desarrolla su actividad en diferentes áreas: maquinaria, telecomunicaciones, energías renovables, construcción, menaje, cerramientos, piezas de caucho, elevadores, equipos para la industria químico farmacéutica y automoción, fundamentalmente, así como servicios de consultoría.

A la asamblea general de esta organización, han acudido también el Agregado Comercial de la Embajada, Sr. René Manuel Capote y la Directora General de Basque Trade & Investment, Ainhoa Ondarzabal, así como el Director de la Unidad de Inteligencia Competitiva de la Agencia Vasca para la Internacionalización, Iván Fernández.

Desde la Embajada se dieron a conocer en esta cita las nuevas medidas puestas en marcha para liberalizar la economía, que incluye la creación de ‘MiPyMEs’ cubanas y el comercio directo con ellas, nuevos mecanismos de inversión, acceso a sectores estratégicos como energía, etc., información por tanto de gran interés para el tejido empresarial de Euskadi.

Visita del embajador de Cuba a Euskadi

Marcelino Medina, embajador de la República de Cuba, ha visitado Euskadi a lo largo de varias jornadas, manteniendo entrevistas y reuniones con representantes de las principales instituciones y entidades vascas.

Durante su estancia, Medina visitó al Lehendakari con el objetivo de profundizar los lazos de “cooperación, comercio, inversión y solidaridad”.  El diplomático cubano dialogó con Iñigo Urkullu sobre la extensa historia de las relaciones entre Cuba y Euskadi, enfocando en las diferentes perspectivas de futuro.

En 2021, las exportaciones vascas a Cuba rozaron los 100 millones de euros, cifra que se ha venido reduciendo en los últimos tres años como consecuencia de la crisis económica que está afectando a la isla caribeña, acentuada por el efecto de la COVID. Precisamente tras esta etapa, el próximo mes de noviembre se desarollará en La Habana la FIHAV, feria internacional que celebrará su XXXVIII edición y en la que Euskadi contará con un pabellón expositivo. 

FIHAV 2022 es el certamen empresarial más importante que se celebra en aquel país; tiene carácter multisectorial y constituye la mejor opción para darse a conocer de entrada al mercado cubano, principal socio comercial del País Vasco en el Caribe, y uno de los mayores en América Latina.
