A Historic Meeting

 

President Obama met with Cuban President Raul Castro in Panama City on Saturday -- marking the first full meeting between the leaders of the two countries since we announced a new diplomatic path with Cuba.

The two presidents discussed our shared histories, significant policy changes, and the positive response in both countries to this thaw in relations. "This is obviously a historic meeting," said President Obama -- who was in Central America for the seventh Summit of the Americas, a tradition that brings together the leaders of North and South America to discuss issues that impact the region.
