STORYLINE

Cubans in Havana and Miami had differing views about the first formal meeting in more than half a century between the presidents of the United States and Cuba.

Cuban President Raul Castro and US President Barack Obama held a meeting in Panama on Saturday at the Summit of the Americas.

In Cuba's capital, many followed the developments of the Summit of the Americas held in Panama on television and reacted positively to the historic encounter.

Some like Lazaro Padilla hoped for a lift of the more than 50-year-old US embargo against the island nation, while others like Mairel Ojeda said the meeting was "beneficial to both countries."

Cubans living in Miami, however, were not as jubilant.

"Despite Obama meeting with Raul (Castro), or meeting whoever hoping for a change, Cuba will never change," said Miguel Saavedra, a Cuban exile at Versailles restaurant, a local spot for Cubans in the city.

Not since 1958 have a US and Cuban leader held a substantial meeting.
