Description
On 6 August, 2013, the China Zhengzhou Yutong Bus Company and the Cuban Transportation Equipment Supply Corporation (TRADEX) signed a contract for the implementation of the "Public Bus Spare Parts Project". On 15 May, 2013, the Chinese Ambassador to Cuba, Zhang Tuo, and the First Deputy Minister of Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment, Orlando Hernandez-Guilian, represented their respective governments in signing an Exchange of Notes agreement for the Chinese donation of spare parts to the Cuban Government. This agreement comes in acknowledgement of the transportation difficulty in Havana as a result of lacking spare bus parts. The spare parts were due to arrive at the port of Havana and delivered to the Havana City Government within 6 months of the contract signing ceremony.
