Havana, Dec 18 (TIWN) Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said that he was ready to talk with US President-elect Joe Biden, who will be inaugurated on January 20, 2021, "on any subject".
"We are willing to discuss any issue, what we are not willing to negotiate and what we will not give in on is the revolution, socialism and our sovereignty," Xinhua news agency quoted Diaz-Canel as saying on Thursday while addressing the annual session of Parliament. "Those principles will never be on the table," he said. In October, Biden said that the US needed a new Cuba policy, though it remained unclear how quickly he will move on implementing his policy on the island. The former Vice President has also said he would eliminate incumbent President Donald Trump's restrictions on remittances and travel to Cuba.
