Cuba 2013?

Twice Saturday, according to BBC Brasil, Lula pushed publicly for progress in US-Cuba relations, first in a closed meeting of Unasul, the Union of South American Nations, where he said it would be "hard to imagine" the next Summit of the Americas without Cuba, foreign minister Celso Amorim told reporters afterwards.  Then, in softer tones in his afternoon speech, he said that "relations with Cuba would be an important signal of the disposition of the United States to connect with the region."

Lula also suggested that Obama send emissaries to other Latin American countries that had troubled relationships with the U.S., including Venezuela and Bolivia.
