The talks come amid increasing tensions with the US after Trump said he would be ‘honoured’ to take over Cuba.
Former Cuban President Raul Castro is involved in talks between the island and the United States, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel has said, amid soaring tensions between the two states.
Diaz-Canel on Wednesday said the talks were in the early stages, as nationwide blackouts continued from an oil blockade implemented by US President Donald Trump.
The announcement, in a videotaped interview with Diaz-Canel shared by state media, comes after Trump last week said he would have “the honour of taking Cuba” soon.
The Cuban president predicted that any process that leads to an agreement would be lengthy.
“First, we must build a channel for dialogue. Then, we must build common agendas of interests for the parties, and the parties must demonstrate their intention to move forward and truly commit to the program based on the discussion of those agendas,” he said.
