During the talks, both sides agreed to regularly review the implementation of the Migration Accords of 1994 and 1995, according to U.S. State Department officials.
While they may review the Accords, State Department officials said in a release, "Continuing to ensure safe and legal migration between Cuba and the United States is consistent with our interest in promoting greater freedoms and increased respect for human rights in Cuba."
While talks continue, ending the five decades old economic embargo would have to be changed by Congress.
