We are always disappointed yes, we are always disappointed that he did not come home with Mr. Gross, we want him to be released immediately.\" \u003cbr/\u003e21. Wide of press conference\u003cbr/\u003eFormer US President Jimmy Carter left Havana on Wednesday afternoon after a three-day visit to Cuba. \u003cbr/\u003eHe was seen off by Cuban President Raul Castro who told reporters he was pleased with Carter's visit.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This morning I just came from meeting with Fidel Castro, who seems to be in good health. We welcomed each other as old friends,\" Carter said in a news conference, before leaving the caribbean island. \u003cbr/\u003e\"My own hope is that in the future there will be added to these documents a complete freedom for all Cuban people, for speech, for assembly, for travel, that all the internationally adopted standards of human rights will be enforced in Cuba,\" Carter added. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The visit was good. Carter is an honest man. Of all the presidents, he was the one whom acted the best toward Cuba\", said Raul Castro.\u003cbr/\u003eBefore heading to the airport, Carter met with a jailed American contractor on Wednesday but said Cuban leaders had made it clear they do not plan to release him. \u003cbr/\u003eThe announcement was a disappointment to supporters of Alan Gross after the trip had raised expectations the 86-year-old former American president would be allowed to bring the Maryland native home. \u003cbr/\u003eGross is serving a 15-year sentence after being convicted earlier this month of bringing communications equipment into Cuba illegally.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think that Alan Gross should be released because he's innocent of any serious crime,\" Carter said. \u003cbr/\u003eState Department officials have said privately that Cuban authorities indicated they might release Gross on humanitarian grounds following the trial. \u003cbr/\u003eBut Carter said that from the very beginning, he knew Gross would not be freed during the visit.\u003cbr/\u003eCarter said he met with Gross at an undisclosed location on Wednesday morning, and that the 61-year-old contractor told him he had lost 40 kilograms (88 pounds) since his arrest in December 2009. \u003cbr/\u003eLast August, the 39th U.S. president and winner of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize travelled to North Korea to secure the release of an imprisoned American, and many expected the same sort of result in Cuba.\u003cbr/\u003eGross was arrested while working on a USAID-backed democracy-building project and convicted of crimes against state security earlier this month in a case that has blocked improved ties between the U.S. and Cuba.\u003cbr/\u003eGross has said he was working to improve Internet communications for Cuba's tiny Jewish community. Havana considers such U.S. projects to be aimed at toppling the government. \u003cbr/\u003eCarter said he discussed Gross' case with Cuban officials but was visiting to talk about strained ties.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Washington, the U.S. State Department said it regretted that Havana did not free the contractor with Carter's visit.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We are disappointed that he did not come back with Mr. Gross,\" spokesman Mark Toner said. \u003cbr/\u003eThe former US president also said he believes that the convicted Cuban spies, known as the Cuban five, held in U.S. prisons for the past 12 years should also be released and allowed to come back to the island. \u003cbr/\u003eWashington and Havana have not had formal diplomatic relations since the 1960s, and the United States maintains economic and financial sanctions on the island.\u003cbr/\u003eU.S. officials say no thaw in relations is possible while Gross is in prison.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring the three-day visit, Carter also met with other senior government and religious leaders. \u003cbr/\u003eOn Wednesday, he had breakfast with members of the island's small opposition community, including ten dissidents recently released from prison by the Cuban government as well as members of the Ladies in White opposition group, a Cuban dissident group formed to demand freedom for imprisoned relatives. \u003cbr/\u003eCarter, who was president from 1977 to 1981, previously visited Cuba in 2002, becoming the only former U.S. president to do so since the 1959 revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
