This is the fatal weakness of every such meeting and overture. Other Christians approach things with the idea they are equals with a goal of fellowship. The Roman point of view is that the only goal is that the other eventually submit to Rome again.
Until Rome gives up the idea that they are the only legitimate leader of all Christiandom, I cannot see that meetings will ever produce much success.
Rome is like a guy trying to get an old girlfriend back. At best she is open to be a friend, but he thinks she is going to walk back in and say she was wrong to leave him.
But I think any meeting between Christian branches is good. I find Cuba to be an odd location, unless the goal was to try to invigorate Christianity there. But I have a feeling it was to give socialism a hug.

Best take whatever these protestants swinging the thurifer say with more than a little skepticism. We have our share of them; more Orthodox than the EP....
