HAVANA
Russian Foreign Minister Serguei Lavrov has launched a tour of Latin
America with a stop in Cuba, where he has called for an end to the U.S.
embargo against the island nation.

The official website Cubadebate says Lavrov discussed bilateral
cooperation on Tuesday with Ricardo Cabrisas, vice president of the
Council of Ministers. He was to meet later with Cuban Foreign Minister
Bruno Rodriguez.

Cubadebate quotes Lavrov as saying that Russia will work with Cuba to
help end the U.S. trade sanctions. He also says that Russian companies
are interested in investing in the Caribbean country's development.

Lavrov will later travel on to Colombia, Nicaragua and Guatemala.
