The US and Cuba are holding their highest-level talks in decades in the Cuban capital, Havana.
The talks are part of a thaw in relations between the two rivals announced last month in simultaneous speeches by US President Barack Obama and his Cuban counterpart, Raul Castro.
They come only hours after Mr Obama urged Congress to seize the chance to end the US trade embargo against Cuba.
The talks will focus on migration and restoring full diplomatic ties.
'New era'
The US delegation is led by Roberta Jacobson, the top US diplomat for Latin America. The last time someone of her level of seniority visited Cuba was 35 years ago.
BBC correspondent Barbara Plett Usher says the meetings feel like the beginning of a new era in relations between the two nations.
The US will be asking for an end to current restrictions on its diplomats so it can upgrade its interest section in Havana to a full embassy, she adds.
