HAVANA, Rajab 23, 1436, May 12, 2015, SPA -- Cuba and the U.S. will name ambassadors to each other's countries after the island is removed from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism later this month, Cuban President Raul Castro said on Tuesday, according to AP. Castro spoke to journalists at Havana's international airport after seeing off visiting French President Francois Hollande. The United States and Cuba have not had full diplomatic relations since 1961. Currently they have lower-level missions called Interests Sections in each other's countries, under the protection of the Swiss government. In April, US President Barack Obama announced his decision to remove Cuba from the American terror list, which was seen a major obstacle for the opening of full embassies. A 45-day waiting period that would give Congress time to take action on Obama's decision ends on May 29. --SPA 23:35 LOCAL TIME 20:35 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
