I look forward to continuing the development of our bilateral relations with Cuba. A Political Declaration on the renewal of our bilateral cooperation was signed on 1 March 2010 and discussions are ongoing to give effect to that Declaration, including as appropriate through the conclusion of a bilateral cooperation agreement. A further round of political consultations at official level will be held in Dublin in the coming weeks.
