Talks between Cuba and EU offer hope for closer relationship
TALKS in Brussels between Cuba and the European Union will help to develop a closer relationship, both sides agreed on Tuesday.
. . .
They signed an agreement for the EU to give £16 million in project support to Cubas 2030 goal to obtain a quarter of its energy from renewable sources and Brussels also agreed to contribute more than £17m towards an existing food security programme in Cuba.
Today we celebrate an important step in relations between the EU and Cuba, Ms Mogherini said.
. . .
She denounced the United States blockade of Cuba, calling it obsolete and illegal, and reproached US President Donald Trump for rolling back the diplomatic advances his predecessor Barack Obama had recently made with Cuba.
