U.S., Cuba to hold talks on mail services resumption

PanAarmenian.net, June 18, 2013

PanARMENIAN.Net - Direct mail between the United States and Cuba was suspended 50 years ago. Now the two countries have agreed to hold talks on reestablishing that service, but U.S. officials caution the discussions "are technical in nature" and do not indicate any change in policy toward Cuba, CNN reports.

Representatives from the State Department and the U.S. Postal Service will meet with Cuban officials in Washington this week to discuss the matter.

"The reason we're doing this is because it's of course good for the Cuban people," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "This is something we feel is good for us, but it's not meant to be a signal of anything or indicate a change in policy," she said.

The talks come as Washington and Havana have been at odds over the fate of U.S. contractor Alan Gross, who was arrested in 2009 and is serving a 15-year prison sentence for bringing Internet access equipment to Cuban Jews. The Cuban government considers that action subversive.

The last talks with Cuba on reestablishing direct mail service were in 2009.

"We're hopeful that we'll be able to move things forward," Psaki said.

But the obvious ones you will see sooner than not - Cuba, Korea [North], Iran, of course, and Venezuela.

Watch what happens to those who take their place, and remember these meetings where I described these potentials to you. …”

“….. Here is the prediction: China will turn North Korea loose soon. The alliance will dissolve, or become stale. There will be political upheaval in China. Not a coup and not a revolution. Within the inner circles of that which you call Chinese politics, there will be a re-evaluation of goals and monetary policy. Eventually, you will see a break with North Korea, allowing still another dictator to fall and unification to occur with the south. ….”
