Havana, Apr 4 (EFE).- US agribusinesspeople on Tuesday in Havana criticized Washington’s inclusion of Cuba on its list of sponsors of terrorism because, in their judgment, the designation lacks “common sense” and affects investment possibilities on the communist island.

During the inauguration of the 4th Cuba-US Agriculture Conference, which will last until Thursday, the president of the bilateral US Agriculture Coalition for Cuba, Paul Johnson, said that Washington’s sanctions on Havana harm the interests of businesspeople on both sides of the Florida Strait.

In addition, he had favorable words to say about the “new economic policies” on the island and called for greater cooperation between the two governments and companies, as well as for an increase in academic exchanges.

All this, the head of the bilateral organization said, should be undertaken, taken into account or changed with an eye toward “resolving shared problems” and “building confidence” between the two nations. In addition, Johnson added that the connections between US and Cuban citizens is the “best hope” for removing political obstacles between Washington and Havana.
