(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The United States will urge Cuba to lift travel restrictions and agree to establishing US and Cuban embassies in historic talks in Havana this week aimed at restoring diplomatic ties, a senior State Department official said yesterday.
The talks from January 21 to 23 will be led by Roberta Jacobson, the top US diplomat for Latin America, in the first visit to Cuba in 38 years by a US assistant secretary of state. "We are looking forward to the Cubans lifting travel restrictions, to trying to lift the caps on the number of our diplomatic personnel, to trying to gain unimpeded shipments for our mission and to the free access to our mission by Cubans," the official said.
