Haïti brings the US & Cuba to the negociating table

The time is not recent at all when top officials from the US sat down with top officials from Cuba to talk about anything.

Well, Haïti made it happen.

The Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez met last Wednesday in New York, a high U.S. official to discuss reconstruction efforts in Haiti. 
 

The Minister met with Cheryl Mills (on the left), Chief Cabinet Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the international donors conference for Haiti, held at UN headquarters March 31, 2010. 
 



The meeting, one of the highest level for several years between the two countries, focused on rebuilding the medical system and health in Haiti.


Cuba is to provide Haiti medical services worth $ 690 million to support the work of Cuban doctors working for over a decade in the country, according to Mr Rogriguez.


The last time Cuba allowed U.S. aircrafts to enter Cuban air space was immediately after the earthquake in their effort to evacuate Haiti’s homeless and bring aid to the devastated island.

Could this be a new beginning to US-Cuba relationship?
