El Salvador industrialists seek business to develop trade links with Cuba

The visit to Cuba by Mauricio Funes, the president of El Salvador, follows renewed diplomatic links after years of a freeze between the two countries.

Now El Salvador’s business leaders are hoping to seek new contacts on the island. “This is a very good opportunity,” said Tharis López, a leader of the Salvadoran association of industrialists.

Over the last decade, trade between the two countries has been minimal, though El Salvador’s exports have been greater than Cuba’s.
