Cuban vice-president hosts Nancy Pelosi in first meeting with US officials
Nine members of the US House of Representatives met Cuban vice-president Miguel Diaz-Canel on Thursday, marking the first time Cubas heir apparent to power has received an American delegation.
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and eight other House Democrats concluded their two-day visit to the country by meeting Diaz-Canel, 54, who is first in line to the seat of power held by brothers Fidel and Raul Castro since 1959.
The meeting came two months after the United States and Cuba announced a rapprochement and plans to restore diplomatic relations after more than 50 years of hostilities.
