The Bilateral Commission is the primary coordination vehicle for advancing the normalization process between the United States and Cuba. The meeting took place in a respectful, cooperative, and productive environment. It provided an opportunity to review progress on shared priorities, including regulatory issues, telecommunications, claims, environmental protection, human trafficking, human rights, migration, and law enforcement. It also provided an opportunity to discuss priorities for 2016 and to identify mechanisms to continue narrowing our differences. The United States looks forward to the next Bilateral Commission Meeting in Havana in early 2016. For further information, please contact WHA Press at WHAPress@State.Gov.
