CUBAN INTERESTS SECTION: Press release on its banking situation and consular services Press Release by the Cuban Interests Section in Washington, D.C. The Cuban Interests Section in Washington, D.C, wishes to inform the recipients of services provided by its Consular Office that, in spite of efforts being made since February 2014, it has not been possible to find a U.S. or foreign banking institution with offices in the United States or in a third country, to handle the banking needs for its normal operation and so that full consular services can be offered, a situation resulting from the increased financial persecution derived from the policy of blockade imposed by the U.S. government and the unfounded, unsustainable designation of Cuba as “a state sponsor of international terrorism.” While still working towards a solution that allow for normalization of the work of its Consular Office, the Interests Section has decided to once more extend the provision of consular services until March 31, 2015, for renewal and extension of the validity of passports belonging to Cuban citizens who have made reservations to travel to Cuba. The aforementioned services will continue to be rendered, directly in the Cuban Consular Office in Washington D.C., via travel agencies with a working relationship with the Consular Office. The Interests Section reiterates that services related to humanitarian situations will continue to be expedited and that, pursuant to the Cuban migration laws in force, Cuban citizens living abroad must be holders of valid passports to enter the national territory.
