Cuba seeks warmer ties with Mexico, report says
A newspaper report says Cuban President Raśl Castro wants to improve relations with Mexico. El Sol de Mexico's Mario Vazquez Rana recently sat down with Castro in Havana. He said in an article published Monday that the Cuban leader told him he wants Mexico and Cuba to return to the close friendship the two countries once shared. Relations between Mexico and Havana deteriorated under former Mexican President Vicente Fox, who criticized Cuba's human rights record. Both countries recalled their ambassadors for a few months in 2004. But President Felipe Calderon restored full relations with Cuba after succeeding Fox in 2006. The Mexican leader has said he wants to continue to have warmer ties with the communist island. |
