A Cuban reads a newspaper Thursday announcing the OAS had lifted its suspension of Cuba's membership.
Ricardo Alarcon, president of the National Assembly, made the announcement to reporters. Former Cuban President Fidel Castro had said earlier this week that Cuba had no interest in rejoining the 35-nation group.
Cuba was suspended in 1962 as a result of efforts led by the United States at the height of the Cold War. The United States had broken diplomatic relations with the communist island nation in 1961 and established an economic embargo the next year.
