More than one hundred Cuban business owners have appealed to US President-elect Donald Trump not to reverse a recent thaw in bilateral relations.
In a letter, they said additional measures to boost travel, trade and investment would benefit both nations.
US President-Elect Donald Trump, who takes office on twenty January, has said he will end a deal under which ties were restored in 2015 unless Havana offers a better deal.
Cuba hopes to sign twelve agreements with the US before Mr. Trump’s inauguration.
Cuban and US government officials on Wednesday held talks in Havana to discuss how this could be achieved during President Barack Obama’s remaining weeks in office.
Cuban Foreign Ministry’s Director of US Affairs, Josefina Vidal, said a number of agreements had already been signed with Washington since 2015.
She also expressed hopes that the bilateral relations would continue improving but within the respect of the existing differences and without having to make any kind of concession to the principles in which Cuba firmly believes.
President Obama has worked to improve relations with the communist government in Havana, culminating in his historic visit in March 2016.
