"We don't have the North American government's concrete proposal in that matter although there were exchanges," he added before the national and foreign press.

The Cuban Foreign Minister clarified, however, that cooperation has been agreed on with Washington in relation to the Cuban air space for humanitarian operations in help of the Haitian people and around 60 flights were already made under those conditions.

"It is not the first time it happens because in September 11, 2001, after the terrible terrorist attacks, Cuba offered all its airports and opened its air space to the US airplanes," Rodríguez added.

He reiterated the Cuban disposition to cooperate with any country engaged in the humanitarian operation and would make it with the US if this was transcendent and important for the Haitian people and always in a serious and responsible way.

In answering another question, he refused that any sort of negotiations exists on the topic of human rights between Spain and Cuba, and clarified there is nothing but a flowing political dialogue of high level and exchange in all the topics.

As to the arrested US citizen in Cuba for illegal activities, he responded that, according to the own laws of his country, the man is an agent of a foreign power and his case is under an investigation process.

"It is that the US government doesn't give up pursuing the destruction of the Cuban Revolution, to change the political and social regime of our country, and in any place of the world, what this US citizen carried out would be a serious crime," he remarked.

In answering a question on US President Barack Obama�s last public intervention, he stated that the US leader is facing the serious problem of how to reconcile his speech with the facts and reality, and his words with practical actions.
