From the cry to estimate of 23 months come it will require iran and all states to comply with legally binding activities. 90 days from today when our respective capitals and legislatures have carefully reviewed the deals

Today, we have open than them the and all the countries recognize as a sovereign country, though this is a small and neighboring island. The reestablishment of diplomatic relations is apprehended in my country as a ignoble toward a process of civilized relations despite the differences and if the blockade is lifted if we are able to implement this type of relationship between the u. S. And cuba different from what has existed all along and history, in fact feel the recognition of the need to lift the blockade against cuba, the fact that during the talks we have had, we have perceived respect for cuba us independence to feel the determination of our people and that we can now talk as the secretary and i have now talked with absolute sovereignty despite differences show that the

We touched on a wide range of issues of module concern, and mutual concern including counter narcotics, telecommunications, the internet them a environmental issues, human rights, including trafficking and in persons and we discussed the opening of our embassies.
