US needs to make 'gestures': Raul Castro
Washington, Apr 30: On the recent developments between the United States and Cuba, Cuban president Raul Castro has said that it is the United States that needs to make gestures to express interest in improving relations with Cuba.
Echoing his older brother, Fidel Castro, Raul Castro said that it was not Cuba that imposed sanctions against the US and 'therefore it is not Cuba that has to make gestures'.
At
a
meeting
of
the
Non-Aligned
Movement
in
Havana,
Castro
brushed
off
President
Obama's
easing
of
travel
and
money
transfers
by
Cuban-Americans
to
the
island
as
'fine,
positive
but
only
achieved
the
minimum'.
Obama
and
Clinton
have
said
they
expected
'signals'
from
Cuba,
including
the
release
of
political
prisoners,
before
beginning
a
dialogue
on
improving
ties.
Castro said: "We are willing to talk about everything with the United States, in equality of conditions, but not to negotiate our sovereignty, nor our political and social system, the right to self-determination, nor our internal affairs."
