WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States and Cuba will hold a third round of talks on Sunday aimed at normalising diplomatic relations that were severed more than 50 years ago, the U.S. State Department said on Friday.
Assistant Secretary of State Roberta Jacobson will travel to Havana for further discussions on restoring ties and reopening embassies, the State Department said.The meeting will follow a round in talks in Washington at the end of February when both sides said they made good progress but no announcements were made. U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro made a breakthrough announcement on Dec. 17 that upended decades of enmity between the two countries.
