Cuba has stressed its desire to dialogue with US President-elect Donald Trump when he returns to the White House in January 2025, despite the fact that he reimposed restrictions on Cuba during his first term.

"Cuba will not initiate or initiate the cessation of existing dialogue or cooperation, even closed-door discussions on sensitive issues," said Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, speaking on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the rapprochement led by former US President Barack Obama and former Cuban President Raul Castro. Havana will pay attention to the views of the new US administration, but will maintain its steadfast stance over the past 64 years, which is to be ready to develop with Washington a serious relationship, with mutual respect and the protection of the sovereign interests of both sides. Cuba's reaffirmation of its readiness to dialogue with the US has many important implications, both politically, economically and socially. This is a positive signal that Cuba wants to promote diplomatic relations with the US, opening the door to dialogue to resolve historical disagreements. This could lead to an improvement in relations between the two countries, which have experienced many ups and downs. Cuba is facing many economic difficulties, and dialogue with the United States can open up opportunities for economic, investment and trade cooperation. The United States is one of the major markets, and improving relations can help Cuba attract resources and technology. Dialogue can help both sides jointly solve regional security issues, including those related to crime, smuggling and migration. Cuba can see the opening of dialogue with the United States as an opportunity to promote domestic political and economic reforms and improve the lives of its people. Cuba's willingness to dialogue can be seen as a positive sign for the international community, showing that Cuba is making efforts to integrate more into the global system and improve its image. Cuba's reaffirmation of its willingness to dialogue with the United States is not only meaningful in bilateral relations but also affects the political and economic situation in the region and the world./.
