A US embassy in Havana in April?

The United States could reopen its embassy in Cuba in April. Negotiators met Friday in Washington. The Cuban diplomat Josefina Vidal wants the United States withdrew Cuba from the list of countries supporting terrorism, but welcomes the ongoing dialogue.

"I can say that the talks today were good," she said. "We have made progress in our discussions."

American side diplomat Roberta Jacobson is also optimistic. Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America think that the obstacles to the reopening of embassies can be raised before the Summit of the Americas, held in Panama on April 10 and 11, but refuses for now to deliver details ongoing negotiations.

"It would be inappropriate for me to go into details of the progress made or not," she said. But honestly, we are not far from solving problems. "

For political scientist at the University of Georgetown Jon-Christopher Bua, the decision to normalize relations with Havana could become the symbol of the Obama presidency.

"President Obama is trying to build a legacy" understand the academic. "He's looking for something that will mark its mandate, as we remember Kennedy's initiative with the trip to the moon or Johnson for civil rights."

54 years after the rupture of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Cuba could also reopen its embassy in Washington as explained Stefan Grobe, Euronews correspondent in the United States

"Today, Cuban interests in the United States are represented by the Swiss embassy just but a few months or weeks, the legacy of the cold war may disappear."
