Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs Charles
H. Rivkin will travel to Havana, Cuba, to lead a U.S. Government
delegation for Civil Aviation Technical Talks between the United States
and Cuba which takes place September 28-29.

Expanding authorized travel with Cuba is a critical focus of the
President's new policy. An interagency U.S. Government delegation will
meet with Cuban counterparts to explore the way forward on establishing
scheduled air services between the two countries, and discuss aviation
safety and security. While U.S. law continues to prohibit travel to Cuba
for tourist activities, a stronger civil aviation relationship will
facilitate the strong growth in travel between the two countries,
following the recent revision of regulations for authorized travel.
