The Cuban government welcomed the US decision to remove it from a list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Cuba's top diplomat responsible for dealing with the US, said: "The Cuban government recognised the fair decision made by the president of the United States to eliminate Cuba from a list that it never should have been included on, especially considering our country has been the victim of hundreds of acts of terrorism that have cost 3,478 lives and maimed 2,099 citizens."
President Barack Obama on Tuesday said Cuba had "not provided any support for international terrorism" over the past six months and that it had provided "assurances that it will not support acts of international terrorism in the future".
