Havana, June 8 (RHC)-- Representatives from Cuba and the European Union met Monday in Havana for the second round of talks on human rights.

Cuba's Foreign Ministry reported that the talks between the two delegations complement the bilateral agenda after a political and cooperation agreement was reached earlier this year.

The Cuban delegation was led by Pedro Nunez, general director of multilateral affairs of Cuba's Foreign Ministry and the EU delegation was headed by Stavros Lambrinidis, special envoy of the EU on human rights.

The foreign ministry said that the two sides exchanged views in a "respectful and constructive" manner and discussed "several issues regarding human rights as well as civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights."

It further said that although there are profound differences on various issues of importance, the political will exists to talk about any topic with proper respect for the sovereignty and independence of the parts.

The first round Cuba-EU talks on human rights took place in the Belgian capital in June of 2015.
