HAVANA, Jan. 16 -- Cuba and the United States will hold talks here next week on normalizing their relations, the Foreign Ministry said Friday.
The Cuban delegation will be led by Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, head of the ministry's U.S. affairs section, it said.
On Jan. 21, the topic will be immigration and in the following day the two sides will discuss the principles and steps for the re-establishment of diplomatic ties and the opening of embassies.
Last month, both U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban leader Raul Castro expressed the intention to normalize relations, which were severed half a century ago.
