"very open" to building a new relationship with Cuba.
However, Edward Alex Lee of the US state department stressed that any improvement should go hand-in-hand with more political freedom on the communist-run island.
He said the two countries had held "very constructive" talks on migration and other issues this week. But he declined to give any details of what he called "substantial progress". Mr Lee, who has been on an official visit to Cuba, added the two nations would seek to continue these rare negotiations. "Despite our historically difficult relationship...we have
been able to speak to each other in a respectful and thoughtful manner," he told a news conference in Havana. But he added that the US wanted a "fundamental change" in the Cuban government's attitude towards its own people. "We want to have that opening reflect - from the Cuban side - a respect for Cubans to express themselves freely, to be able to petition their government with grievances without the danger of arrest."
