On Monday, when the official program of his visit begins, the US president is scheduled to meet with Cuban President Raul Castro to review progress made on the normalization of relations between the two nations.

US President Barack Obama has arrived in the Cuban capital of Havana with a historic visit in the wake of the Cuban normalization process.

While Obama's official program begins on Monday, March 21, he will have a cultural tour of the Cuban capital on Sunday.

Relations between Washington and Havana began to improve after Obama announced in December 2014 a historic change in US policy, including the loosening of restrictions on travel and trade.

Obama will be the first sitting US president to go to Cuba since Calvin Coolidge, 88 years ago in 1928.
