Castro Calls for "Respectful Dialogue" with U.S. in First Americas Summit Appearance 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In his remarks at the Summit of the Americas, Cuban President Raúl
Castro said Cuba should never have made the U.S. terrorist list in the
first place.

Cuban President Raúl Castro: "We have expressed, and I repeated it
again here to President Obama, our willingness for respectful dialogue
between both states within our profound differences. I see as a positive
step his recent statements that he will quickly decide to remove the
existence of Cuba from a list of countries that sponsor state terror,
and on which we should never have been included."

Castro also renewed calls for the U.S. Congress to end the embargo of
Cuba, which he said has harmed his country for decades.
