Cuba 'accepts dialogue' with EU

Cuba has conditionally accepted the resumption of formal political dialogue with the European Union.

The offer was made by the EU in June when sanctions were lifted against the Communist-run island state.

The Cuban foreign ministry said it would accept the proposal "once the foundations and bases are established by joint agreement", Reuters reported.

Havana's response came in a letter sent this month to the EU headquarters in Brussels, the agency reported.

The EU has been trying to re-establish a full political dialogue with Havana ever since Fidel Castro effectively stepped down due to ill-health in July 2006, correspondents say.
