"The Summit of the Americas prepares for a historic moment: a face to face that night between Obama and Castro, determined to break the ice between their countries."
This is a historic summit announcement. The second day of the Summit of the Americas will be an opportunity for a face to face unprecedented between Barack Obama and Raul Castro, following the thaw between the US and Cuba, announced in mid-December. The two men must exchange under the auspices of the President of Panama, which hosts the summit.
Definitely a really special summit since it is the first time in history that come together at the same table the 35 heads of state and government of the region.
This handshake between Castro and Obama is the second after that of December 2013 in South Africa, Nelson Mandela during the funeral.
They put an end to 53 years of conflict between the two sworn enemies.
It is also for Cuba's return on the continental stage, the communist regime was excluded.
Euronews offers to follow live the meeting that night of Barack Obama and Raul Castro.
