The Spanish Foreign Minister, Miguel Angel Moratinos, is in Cuba ahead
of a decision by the EU on whether to lift sanctions against the island.
Spain has spearheaded calls for the sanctions, imposed in 2003, to be
lifted. The EU must decide this June whether to prolong them or not.
Moratinos was met by his Cuban counterpart, Felipe Perez Roque. Tomorrow
he hopes to meet President Fidel Castro. It's a controversial visit.
He's the first EU minister to visit since sanctions were imposed and the
Spanish conservative opposition is deeply against it. Moratinos insists
this is an important moment for Cuba.
