Removal from blacklist is 'act of justice'

Removing Cuba from a US blacklist it should never have been on is a "simple act of justice", Cuba's official daily newspaper Granma said on Saturday.

"Cuba has waited 33 years for a simple act of justice that took place on Friday, when the US State Department made the official announcement to remove our country from the list of countries sponsoring terror," Granma said in an article.

The decision by US President Barack Obama's administration has its positive effects, especially on the improvement of Cuba's financial interactions with other countries, the article said.
