Two multilateral meetups here between high-level diplomats and other government officials from South Korea, Latin America and the Caribbean signals the government’s efforts to improve long-dormant diplomatic relations with Cuba, according to diplomatic sources.
The participation of Cuba’s deputy foreign minister in those talks adds to a unique opportunity to further improve ties between Seoul and Havana, said Costa Rican Foreign Minister Manuel Gonzales, who heads the regional delegation that includes Cuba. Seoul and Havana have yet to establish formal diplomatic ties.
“I think it is a good start for them and many other countries to build up confidence and interactions,” Gonzalez said in an interview with The Korea Herald at a hotel in Seoul on Tuesday.
The Costa Rican foreign minister arrived in Seoul as head of the quartet delegation representing the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States for dialogue with South Korea. The multilateral meeting, which includes Cuba, took place on Wednesday.
