(16 Sep 2015) The US embargo on Cuba is a "strictly unilateral issue", Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said on Wednesday.
Speaking in Havana, Rodriguez said the embargo is a "one-way avenue" and that US President Barack Obama had powers to modify its implementation.
The embargo was imposed after Cuba defeated the CIA-backed assault at the Bay of Pigs in 1961.
Rodriguez also thanked Pope Francis for his role in the dialogue process between the US and Cuban governments.
The pontiff is scheduled to arrive in Cuba on Saturday.
