Diplomats from the European Union accredited in Cuba arrived in Holguín determined to know more closely the reality of this province, and at the same time to channel a greater integration between both peoples, as well as possible collaborations and investments.
The Governor of Holguín, Julio César Estupiñán Rodríguez, who presided over the fruitful exchange together with Her Excellency Isabel Briharte Pedrosa - at the head of the European diplomats - offered a wide range of information to the distinguished visitors.
The also deputy to the Cuban Parliament highlighted that the province maintains under control the Covid-19, and an infant mortality rate of 3.2 per thousand live births, and all this despite the complex world situation, from which the country does not escape, and in the midst of the intensified blockade of the US Government.
Also the Holguin side presented the socio-economic potentialities of the province, beyond nickel and tourism, two of the outstanding items in the exchange, hosted by the Hotel Pernik.
They also talked about culture, a stronghold in the province, hence the invitation to the various events organized in the provincial capital city, and municipalities such as Gibara and Mayari.
In this coming and going of strengths on both sides of the Atlantic, the visitors were shown why Holguín is the third tourist pole of Cuba, and the invitation was left for the enjoyment of this destination, which can grow with all the facilities already built, because even the new hotel in El Ramón de Antilla was born with all the facilities, including wifi connection, assured the Governor.
Another strength of Holguín lies in its industry and trade, hence the talk of international collaboration, investment and the promotion of the 2023 Trade Fair at ExpoHolguín.
Precisely, the European Union is present with its international collaboration in the province of Holguin, with the participation of countries such as Italy and Germany, present in this meeting with their respective ambassadors.
Thanks to this collaboration women - among them ex-prisoners, young people and several communities have benefited, for their contributions, lead to the preparation of human resources, to the creation of jobs, among others.
The Europeans were interested in various topics, among others, communications and connectivity, roads, investments, including aging and migration.
In this regard, Eduardo Ávila Rumayor, director of Casa de Iberoamérica, explained that both phenomena are studied in Holguín, and far from being a threat, they are strengths.
He added that migration is not exclusive to Cuba, that in this case it is politicized and encouraged from outside, and that this phenomenon occurs in Europe itself and in other industrialized countries.
For his part, the Governor reasoned that most young people stay in Cuba, taking advantage of the benefits of living in a country without discrimination based on skin color, sex or sexual orientation.
Finally, Her Excellency Mrs. Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa, commented to the press that this visit was intended to bring closer together peoples with common interests, as well as to pave the way for better trade relations, possible investments and collaborations in different fields, which is why these diplomats from the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus, which Admiral Christopher Columbus called the most beautiful land, came to Cuba.
