John Kerry says plans to go to Cuba in `next week or two`

Washington: US Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday he intends to travel to Cuba in the "next week or two" for talks on human rights issues.

Kerry, who went to Cuba last August to raise the US flag over the American embassy, acknowledged to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the United States still has concerns about the human rights situation there.

"I may be down there in the next week or two to have a human rights dialogue, specifically," he said.
