In India is celebrating the 31 International Trade Fair in which Cuba has a display stand that has attracted many visitors. Perhaps initially are attracted to the Havana Club rum, cigars or posters of beautiful beaches, but after the first exchange and a likely purchase, are also interested in how things are going on that island on which they always want to know more.

"That's one of the main reasons for our presence here. The business is perhaps the most visible and certainly not unimportant, but satisfy the curiosity of visitors is part of our mission," says a Prensa Latina Cuba's ambassador in India, Abelardo Cueto.

For the third consecutive year this Caribbean nation is the largest trade fair in South Asia. And it does so with an enthusiasm can overwhelm the modest dimensions of a stand of 12 square meters.

"We've managed to fit aesthetically crafts, canned La Conchita, brochures on biotech products, the discs with the best of Cuban music," said the first secretary of the embassy in charge of trade and cooperation , Nidia Banos.

"That's the point of open spaces, to make known even to Cuba through its flagship products, but also their moral and political values, as governments and business people make better the more you know and respect," Cueto ruling .

"Truly, this is a wonderful platform to consolidate the image of India in Cuba," agrees Bathrooms.

More than 25 nations-including the Caribbean also Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago-attend exhibition and commercial sample, finding a seat in Pragati Maidan, the largest exhibition space in the country.

The event brings together 102 exhibitors and six thousand and as host organizers and a half a million visitors during the two weeks that remain open.
