HAVANA – Cuba has invited U.S. officials to Havana to participate in an international conference on the fight against drug trafficking in the Caribbean.
Cuban Justice Minister Roberto Diaz Sotolongo told reporters Monday in Havana that officials from the U.S. Coast Guard as well as the Drug Enforcement Administration and other anti-narcotics agencies would be welcome. There was no immediate reaction from U.S. officials.
Cuba and the United States do not have full diplomatic relations. There has, however, been periodic cooperation between the two sides on a case by case basis regarding smugglers.
Cuba also has invited representatives of the European Union to attend the conference scheduled for November 9-10 in Havana.
