Cuban Interests Section in U.S. to
provide consular services through February 17, 2014
ON
December 6 M&T Bank informed the Cuban Interests
Section in Washington D.C. that the definitive
closing of the Cuban diplomatic mission’s accounts
has been postponed until March 1, 2014, specifying
that deposits would be accepted through February 17,
2014.
The
Interests Section announced that consular services
would be immediately re-established, on a temporary
basis through February 17, 2014
Efforts will continue to locate another bank to
maintain Interests Section accounts, and if this is
accomplished, the mission will be in a position to
resume normal operations and continue provision of
consular services.
The
Cuban Interests Section laments any inconvenience
caused Cuban and United States citizens by the
suspension of consular services November 26 and will
offer timely information about the issue as the
situation unfolds.
