Washington, May 24 (RHC)—US Bishop David J. Malloy of Rockford and chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on International Justice and Peace welcomed the recent Biden Administration announcement on Cuba.

"We commend the Administration's renewed interest in restarting U.S. engagement with Cuba. Recognizing that points of contention remain between our two countries, Cuba's punitive isolation has not produced the economic and social change that the United States has sought to effect" said a statement published on the Conference's website.

The text added that expanding travel opportunities for U.S. citizens and lifting onerous remittance limitations would strengthen familial, economic, and social ties between our countries.

"The U.S. bishops, including the Cuban-American bishops, in conjunction with the Holy See and the bishops of Cuba, continue to stress the vital importance of bilateral engagement and mutually beneficial trade relations between the United States and Cuba," concluded the text.
