(FILE) A sign hangs outside the Embassy of Switzerland’s Cuban Interests Section, which acts in a similar way to an Embassy for Cuba, in Washington, DC, December 18, 2014. It looks like just another stately mansion on the street leading up to the White House. But the Cuban Interests Section in the US capital is a rich symbol of decades of snarled ties. Its destiny is to become Cuba’s embassy, now that the countries have announced they will bury half a century of Cold War enmity and restore full ties. AFP PHOTO / SAUL LOEB
