HAVANA, Oct. 11 -- U.S. sanctions against Cuba are causing losses to the island nation's postal services, the official Granma newspaper said Friday.

As direct flights to the United States are banned, Cuba has to send mail via a third country even though the U.S. state of Florida is merely miles away, said the paper.

Direct mail services between the two countries were canceled in 1963, at a time when Washington decided to tighten economic sanctions against Havana.

The two countries have been in contact for the resumption of direct postal links, but not agreement has been produced so far.
