The Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) on Wednesday approved a package of reforms aimed at opening up more sectors to private investment.
The reform process coincides with increased economic pressure from the US and comes amid regular power outages and other resource shortages on the island.
The country's president and the first secretary of its only legal political party, Miguel Diaz-Canel, first presented the plans late last week.
