EU strives to promote the process of normalizing relations with Cuba

AFP reported that the European Union (EU)'s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, Federica Mogherini, will visit Cuba on March 23 in an effort to promote the negotiation process with Havana towards the goal of normalizing relations with the island nation.

During her two-day visit to Cuba, Mogherini will hold talks with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, her office said.

The meeting will “take place at a decisive moment” for the negotiation process between the two sides, in the context of the previously icy relationship between Cuba and the West gradually warming, especially after Havana normalized relations with Washington a few months ago.

The EU and Cuba held a third round of talks between their chief negotiators earlier this March to address sensitive human rights issues and to finalize an agreement on “political dialogue and cooperation”./.
