<p>On 29 April 2014, Cuba and the EU opened negotiations on a bilateral agreement
on Political Dialogue and Cooperation in Havana. The UK supported the opening of negotiations
with Cuba. The agreement will allow the EU to respond more effectively to Cuba’s ongoing
process of change and modernisation by providing a stronger framework for political
dialogue and improved cooperation. The defence and promotion of human rights and fundamental
freedoms will remain central to the relationship. Two rounds of negotiations have
so far taken place, led by the European External Action Service on the EU side. Our
position during the negotiations has been balanced, constructive and supportive of
the proposal.</p>
