Classified By: Charge Steven Kraft for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
1. (C) The Government of Luxembourg (GOL) is circumspect in
its relations with Cuba, possibly because the wife of its
head of state, Grand Duchess Teresa, was born in Havana in
1956 and fled the island with her family in 1959 when Castro
seized power.
2. (C) The GOL has worked to encourage human rights in Cuba
by publicly advocating for the release of political
prisoners. Luxembourg conducts both a bilateral and EU-based
human rights dialog with Cuba. The GOL has made no
high-level diplomatic visits to Cuba in the past six months
and there are no bilateral trade agreements between the two
countries. There are no exchange programs between the two
nations. Luxembourg business investment in Cuba is small and
Post knows of no host country businesses that participated in
the November 3 Havana Trade Fair. The GOL did not send
assistance following Hurricanes Gustave and Ike.
