Cuban Flag


Description of the Cuban Pavilion from the Expo '86 Official Souvenir Guide:

The national identity and particular nature of Cuba is captured with a historic overview of transportation and communications developments as well as present-day accomplishments.

Five hundred years ago Cuba was situated at the hub of Latin American transportation systems, acting as a stepping stone in the Spanish conquest of the new world.

Currently the national development plan includes activities in the fields of highway, air, rail and port development, as well as ongoing upgrading of the country's infrastructure. In addition the City of Havana has plans for an underground transportation system.

Thousands of Canadians spend their winter holidays basking in the sun on the largest island of the West Indies, home to ten million Cubans.
