A delegation of U.S. telecommunication officials is in Havana to meet
with their Cuban counterparts as part of talks to restore full
diplomatic relations between the countries.

A Cuban government statement says Daniel Sepulveda, the U.S. coordinator
for international communications and information policy, will leave Cuba
on Thursday. He has been accompanied by officials from the U.S. State
Department, the Federal Communications Commission and Commerce Department.

Wednesday's statement says that "the Cuban side offered the U.S.
visitors information about the country's information and cybersecurity
policy."

The statement also says the two sides discussed new regulations in
Washington for implementing modifications to the U.S. trade embargo with
respect to communications.

The U.S. and Cuba are in the middle of talks aimed at restoring
diplomatic relations and reopening embassies.
