MEDICC Rev. 2015 Jul;17(3):3. doi: 10.37757/MR2015.V17.N3.1.
This issue of MEDICC Review appears in the wake of a media splash on the reopening of the Cuban and US embassies in Washington and Havana, signaling the renewal of full diplomatic relations between the two governments. Although the US embargo is still law and one of the thorniest bilateral issues remaining, the Obama administration's bold opening towards Cuba is being echoed in the chambers of Senate committees, calling for an end to the policy in place since 1962. Meanwhile, people from the United States have begun to travel to Cuba in droves, and for the first time in many years, we perceive real hope that cooperation may replace hostility-at least in the sectors that most matter to ordinary people in both nations.
本期《MEDICC评论》是在媒体大肆报道古巴和美国驻华盛顿及哈瓦那大使馆重新开放之后出现的，这标志着两国政府全面外交关系的恢复。尽管美国的禁运仍然是法律，也是两国间最棘手的双边问题之一，但奥巴马政府对古巴的大胆开放举措在参议院委员会会议上得到响应，要求结束自1962年以来实施的政策。与此同时，大批美国人开始前往古巴，多年来我们首次切实感到，合作或许能够取代敌意——至少在对两国普通民众最为重要的领域。
