The Cuban government plans to remove many of the restrictions that have prevented its citizens from travelling abroad for decades, National Assembly president Ricardo Alarcon said in an interview published on Friday.
Mr Alarcon said Cuba is 'working towards a profound radical reform of emigration.' He gave few details in an interview with digital media's Huffington Post but did say it was a priority issue for the government.
'One of the questions that we are currently discussing at the highest level of the government is the question of emigration,' he said.
Mr Alarcon said 'emigration has been one of the themes most manipulated by the United States (US). Since 1959, it has been used as a weapon of destabilisation against Cuba and as a means of distorting Cuban reality.'

It is so important not only for travelers but also for businessmen to get permission of traveling abroad.
If a country which has been highly restricted to get to began remove foreign travel restrictions, new demands by foreign capitals will arise in the country and create many kinds of jobs.
