In the fourth round of talks between Cuban and the United States, negotiators are focusing on the technical aspects involved in opening embassies in the two countries. Despite major issues that remain unresolved, including the removal of the blockade that Washington has imposed on Cuba for over half a century, diplomats say that advances have been made in a respectful and professional climate. Cuba welcomed the decision of U.S. President Barack Obama to remove the island nation from the state sponsors of terrorism list, and both countries are working hard towards reestablishing diplomatic relations. teleSUR
