Miami, Safar 20, 1436, Dec 12, 2014, SPA -- Cuba is set to attend its first Summit of the Americas in April after the United States' objections to its attendance effectively barred its participation for years, accordign to dpa. Cuba's attendance at the April 10-11 summit was confirmed Friday by Isabel de Saint Malo de Alvarado, the vice president and foreign minister of Panama, which is hosting the summit. This means the summit could bring together the presidents of Cuba and the United States, neighbours who have been at loggerheads for more than half a century. -- SPA 23:44 LOCAL TIME 20:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1305300
