Cuba normalises ties with EU nations
Cuba announced Monday that it is renewing official contacts with all European Union countries, including those that took the hardest line against the communist government after its crackdown on dissidents.
The move announced by Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque could bring to an end diplomatic hostilities that broke out in June 2003 after many EU nations started inviting dissident critics of President Fidel Castro to embassy cocktail parties.
The EU has said it will "intensify" contacts with dissidents through other means.
