Cuban Foreign Ministry's North American

The United States and Cuba will hold talks on human rights, one of the most delicate issues pending in their historic renewal of ties, on Tuesday in Washington, the government in Havana said.
The "bilateral dialogue on human rights... demonstrates Cuba's readiness to address any issue despite our differences," the deputy director of the Cuban foreign ministry, Pedro Luis Pedroso Cuesta, told journalists, saying the communist island had proposed the meeting.
