A New Era in US-Cuba Relations Begins

US Secretary of State John Kerry (right) and visiting Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez speak to reporters on Monday afternoon at a joint press conference held at the US State Department in Washington, where the two just concluded their talks. Rodriguez has urged the US to lift its blockade on Cuba and return the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay to Cuba. Kerry has described the economic and trade embargo on Cuba as not working but said the US at the moment has no intention to return Guantanamo. Chen Weihua/China Daily
