HAVANA, March 20 (UPI) -- Cuba is considering abolishing stringent laws dictating the travel of its citizens abroad, Granma newspaper reported Thursday.

Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque said the leadership of the communist island may do away with the laws that require Cuban citizens to get government permission to leave or return to the island.

After assuming office last month, Cuban President Raul Castro said he would do away with some limits on travel for Cubans.
