Meeting Confirmed Between Cuba and US Officials

General Deputy Director of United States, Alejandro García del Toro spoke to Granma Alejandro García del Toro, general deputy director of United States affairs at Cuba's Foreign Ministry (MINREX) confirmed recent foreign press reports on meetings between US and Cuba's officials in Havana.

"It's a thorny topic that, as we have said, we have managed discreetly," he said.

The Cuban official confirmed that undersecretaries from the U.S. State Department met with a Cuban delegation led by a deputy minister of foreign relations.

"In the framework of the meeting, none of the sides established terms or issued warning statements as U.S. media outlets have echoed," García del Toro said. "The meeting was conducted in a respectful and professional manner."

He said that for the Cuban delegation, the elimination of the energy siege is a priority. "That act of economic coercion is an unjustified punishment for the entire Cuban population. It is also blackmail at the global level against sovereign states, which have the right to export fuel to Cuba, under free trade norms."
