On September 26, 2023, a group of 70 representatives from Cuban MIPYMES (micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises) landed in Florida, United States to meet with businessmen, politicians, and U.S. officials.

His name is Alfonso Valentín Larrea Barroso, and it’s not the first time he has captured the spotlight.
