[+] White House Briefing on Cuba

Senior executives from NURVA Corporation were among a select group of business leaders from around the country invited to The White House on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 to participate in The White House Briefing on Cuba.

This two-day event represented an opportunity for key business leaders to meet with administration officials from the White House and Departments of Treasury, Commerce and State, to discuss the new course in relations between the United States and Cuba.

This White House event represents the first step in discussing policy, trade, international relations and most importantly, emerging new business opportunities between the country of Cuba and The United States. The event included an update on the administration's policies and priorities regarding Cuba, a discussion on the various business opportunities in Cuba and best practices from companies who have been operating there. The panel featured remarks from senior officials from several executive agencies, including the acting director of the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, which administers and enforces U.S. economic and trade sanctions.

“We are honored to be here, representing the voice of U.S. businesses interested in the new emerging business opportunities between Cuba and the United States. We are committed that our discussions here today represent the first steps in furthering the efforts for the expansion of global trade and commerce between the United States and Cuba”, said Chadwick Fernandez, Director of Intelligence & Analytics, NURVA Corporation.

“This is a historical moment. This event has allowed us the opportunity to participate in candid discussions with senior administration officials regarding new opportunities that may become available with the recent change in Cuba policy by the United States and most importantly, how this will impact U.S. businesses and the U.S. economy”, said Fernandez.

After nearly five decades of suspended relations with Cuba, there is significant opportunity for U.S. businesses to provide a broad array of commodities to the estimated 11 million citizens of Cuba. The United States represents Cuba’s fifth-largest trading partner since 2007, and as the normalization progresses between the U.S. and Cuba, there is significant growth on the horizon for Cuba. Subsequently, it is sure to have a direct impact on bettering the quality of life for the Cuban people.

Following the successful first day meetings at The White House, a reception was held for the U.S. business leaders hosted by The Embassy of Cuba and provided an opportunity to meet with Cuba’s Ambassador, José Ramón Cabañas Rodríguez.

On the second day, U.S. business leaders joined a delegation on Capitol Hill to meet with members of congress to strategize on key discussion topics and review progress on a number of important priorities as it relates to the expansion of trade and commerce between the U.S. and Cuba.
