First Stage of Normalising Relations Between Cuba and the USA

Lodged by Neil Findlay Lab Lodged 21 Aug 2015 6 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the re-opening of the US and Cuban embassies in their respective countries; welcomes this as a first stage in normalising relations between them but acknowledges that it is just one of the first of the many steps required to fully repair their relationship; considers that, among significant further steps for normalising relations, would be for the USA to lift the illegal decades-long blockade that it has perpetrated and to stop funding activities that it believes are intent on destabilising Cuba and the many social gains that the country has made since its revolution, and wishes both countries well in future talks aimed at further normalising the relations.
