U.S. President Barack Obama said Wednesday the United States and Cuba plan to reopen embassies in Washington and Havana later this month.

Mr. Obama said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Havana this summer to raise the U.S. flag over the first American embassy there in over 50 years.

Earlier Wednesday, the top American diplomat in Havana delivered a letter from the U.S. to Cuba about restoring embassies in the two capitals.

Cuban President Raul Castro said he is “pleased” to confirm his country will resume diplomatic relations with the United States.
