Puerto Rico Wants Cuba at C.A. Games

HAVANA TIMES, July 1 – A Puerto Rican delegation headed by Israel Roldan, representative of the Organizing Committee of the Mayagüez 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games, will travel this week to Cuba to meet with the island’s sports authorities to negotiate the island’s participation in the regional games.

The government of San Juan is interested in the attendance of the Cuban athletes, which, it considers, would be a sign of the improvement in relations with the United States, reported IPS.

For Cuba to take part in the Games, the US government, which controls Puerto Rico as its colony, would have to authorize visas for the Cuban athletes, coaches and trainers and guarantee their safety.
