Cuban government “satisfied” with US talks
Cuba has expressed its satisfaction with the result of the first round of talks with the US to normalise the postal mail between both countries. “We are satisfied with this first meeting,” Josefina Vidal, director of the Foreign Ministry’s North American Department, said in an official statement.
The postal service between Cuba and the US was interrupted in 1963 and all the postal sending, letters or pack must be done through third countries. There are more than 1.5m people of Cuban origin living in the US, most of them with direct relatives living in Cuba.
Vidal said that the meeting allowed “examining the issues that make difficult to normalise the mail post exchange between both countries, and evaluating a group of specific proposals led to surpass those obstacles.”
The exchange between the post administration officers from both countries was “large and useful”, he added.
Vidal said that Cuba had given the US side its evaluation of the current situation of the universal postal service between both countries and had presented proposals to solve the difficulties in the area.
