Former President Carter visit to Havana

Jimmy Carter visited Havana last Monday in an effort to try to improve Cuba-US relations.

during his three day visit he said:
“I hope we can contribute to better relations between the two countries.”

A few years ago, and specially during Clinton's administration, the relations between US and Cuba were kind of getting better, or at least there were some dialogue between the two countries on how to get the relations better.  US keeps pushing for the human rights violations to stop and Cuba is pushing for the US to lift the embargo on the island so the economic situation can improve there. 
I liked the fact that a former US president is taking this issue under his wing and trying to at least be open for a conversation. 
Could more visits from higher political US figures to Cuba help improve the situation? What do you think?
