Italy expects end to US embargo on Cuba - Gentiloni

'Hope normalisation goes ahead'

(ANSA) - Havana, March 12 - Italy expects the ongoing rapprochement
between the United States and Cuba to lead to an end to the US embargo
on the Caribbean country, Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said
Thursday. "We hope the process of normalisation between Cuba and the
United States goes ahead and brings about the end of the embargo, which
must be the natural consequence of this political decision," he told his
Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodriguez Parilla.
Gentiloni also voiced the hope that Cuban reforms will boost economic
cooperation with Italy in the fields of small and medium-sized
businesses, cooperatives, tourism and renewable energy. The
normalisation between the former foes is set to continue with the
restoration of direct phone lines.
