US, Cuba Plan To Reopen Embassies

The US administration is set to announce that it has reached an agreement with Cuba to reopen embassies and restore diplomatic relations severed more than five decades ago, US officials said.

President Barack Obama, in Washington, and Secretary of State John Kerry, in Vienna for Iran nuclear talks, will both address the issue on Wednesday, a senior administration official said.

A similar announcement is likely to be made by Cuba's government.
