From Washington, this is VOA news. I'm Dave DeForest reporting. U.S. President Barack Obama meets with Cuba's president: Mr. Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro held a joint news conference after "frank and candid" talks in Havana on ways to advance normalization efforts. The U-S president hailed the progress in relations between the United States and Cuba. "_________________________.We continue, as President Castro indicated, to have some very serious differences, including on democracy and human rights. And President Castro and I have had very frank and candid conversations on these subjects." Mr. Castro reacted angrily after being questioned by reporters about political prisoners. He demanded to be shown a list of such detainees - Cuba's position is that it holds no such prisoners. 这里是华盛顿,我是戴夫`迪弗斯特.美国总统奥巴马和古巴领导人举行会晤.在哈瓦那,奥巴马总统和古巴领导人劳尔`卡斯特罗在进行了"坦率和直诚"的对话之后出席了联合新闻发布会,阐释双方在实现关系正常化方面作出的努力.奥巴马总统高度评价了美古双方在双边关系上取得的进展."____________________.卡斯特罗主席也表示了,我们仍然有一些分歧,包括对民主和人权的理解.但是卡斯特罗主席和我在这些问题上进行了坦率和真诚的交谈."在被问及政治犯的问题时,卡斯特罗主席愤怒地进行了回击.他要求记者给出提供被羁押者的名单--他表示古巴并没有关押所谓的政治犯.
