1. (C) On May 17, Poloff met with Urmas Eigla, MFA Cuba
Desk Officer, to discuss Estonia's ties with Cuba. The
information provided is numbered in response to the
reftel request.
- 1. Neither Estonia nor Cuba has any foreign direct
investments in each other's country.
- 2. In 2006, Eigla reported that Estonia exported
$58,553.00 worth of goods to Cuba and imported
$169,378.00 worth of goods from Cuba. Due to the
miniscule level of trade and no direct foreign
investment, no bi-lateral trade agreement exists between
the two countries.
- 3. There are no official exchange programs between the
two countries.
- 4. Estonia has no diplomatic presence in Cuba and vice
versa. While Estonia supports the EU positions on human
rights abuses in Cuba, it is not active in monitoring
events in Cuba.
- 5. There have been no official high-level diplomatic
visits between the two countries in the past six months.
