CUBA-US RELATIONS | SECOND ROUND OF TALKS
STATE DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON DC | 27 FEBRUARY

A new round of negotiations to restore full diplomatic ties with Cuba will take place Washington on February 27th

Teams of negotiators led by Assistant Secretary of State Roberta Jacobson and Cuba's top diplomat for U.S. affairs, Josefina Vidal, are working to resolve Cuban demands that include the easing of banking restrictions on its diplomats in the U.S. and limits on U.S. support for dissident groups that Cuba considers illegal.

The U.S. wants Cuba to eliminate some of the heavy security cordon around its interests section in Havana and allow its diplomats to travel freely in Cuba, among other demands.
