Majority of
Americans Favour Normal Relations With Cuba
Havana - A majority of
the Americans are in favour of dialogues
between their country and Cuba in order to
put an end to the long-lasting differences
between both nations, visiting U.S.
lawmakers said Monday.
In a visit to some churches and the Memorial
Center of Martin Luther King in Havana,
Barbara Lee, leading a seven-member
delegation of Democrats, hailed the exchange
of visits by religious leaders and
representatives from both countries.
According to Lee and representative Watt
Cubans from the delegation, 68 percent of
the U.S. citizens are in favour of normal
ties between the United States and Cuba.
Watt said that the aim of the delegation in
Cuba is to plead for such ties. The
delegation arrived in Cuba on Friday and is
scheduled to leave on Wednesday.
The Congresswoman said at a press conference
on Sunday that "most of the members of our
delegation believe we need to actually
normalize relations (with Cuba) and then the
details of what means would follow."
On Saturday, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno
Rodriguez and president of the Cuban
Parliament Ricardo Alarcon met with the U.S.
delegation.
The Congresswoman said before returning home
on Wednesday, they expect to meet with Cuban
Leader Raul Castro to get a better grasp on
issues that should be discussed between both
countries.
U.S. daily Wall Street Journal reported
Friday that U.S. President Barack Obama
would abolish limits on family travel and
cash remittances between both countries,
which has been confirmed by a White House
official later.
