OAS committee reaches agreement on Cuba's reentry

The Organization of American States on Wednesday has ruled in favor of the return of Cuba to the body, during the second day of its 39th general assembly in Honduras city San Pedro Sula, Xinhua reported.
   "What has been reached is a consensus on a text that does not place conditions on Cuba's reentry. What the text proposes is removing the exclusion of Cuba that has been decided in 1962," Ecuador's Foreign Minister, Fander Falconi, told media.
   Falconi was part of a working group of 10 foreign ministers that drew up the resolution on Cuba. Cuba was barred from attending OAS meetings three years after its revolution, due to U. S. pressure, even though the Caribbean island nation remains a member. The exclusion came as part of a U.S. campaign that also included economic and political exclusion.
