'Progress' in US-Cuba talks but no embassy decision
Cuban and US diplomats say they have made progress in talks in Washington to restore full relations between the two countries.
At issue is the opening of embassies in the two capitals and Cuba's hope it will be removed from a US terror list.
The Cuban delegation was optimistic that problems could be overcome.
Likewise the head of the US delegation said she hoped that the embassies issue could be resolved before a regional summit in Panama on 10 April.
It is hoped that Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro will shake hands in a symbolic sign of improved relations at the summit.
