I also have a passionate interest in different expressions of music, especially many American styles and their combinations (Folk-Country, Jazz, Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Rock, Soul, and so on), dance, stage and screen, and some other forms of artistic expression.

    The Minister of Foreign Trade, Dyalá Jiménez, will be accompanied by the president; the Minister of Science, Technology, and Telecommunications, Luis Adrián Salazar; the investment director of COMEX, Gabriela Castro; and the general manager of CINDE, Jorge Sequeira.
