Delegations from Cuba and the United States are preparing conditions today for the holding here tomorrow of an unprecedented dialogue on human rights, framed in the rapprochement process announced on December 17 by Presidents Raul Castro and Barack Obama.
Although many issues are in the agenda parallel to steps to normalize diplomatic relations and open embassies in their respective capitals, this arouses particular interest in both countries and the international community, since it is one of the most used by Washington against the island.
State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke: “The objective of the meeting is to discuss the structure and methodology for future talks on the issue,” he said.
Aviation, legal and orderly migration, postal mail, marine protected areas and hydrography are also among the issues of common interest, boosted by the December 17 announcements.
Since then, Cuba and the united States have held three rounds of talks, two in Havana and one in Washington, focused on the restoration of diplomatic relations and the opening of embassies.
