State Department spokesman John Kirby says the flag will be hung early Monday morning before a ceremony to mark the re-opening of the Cuban embassy in Washington and the restoration of full diplomatic ties.
The department's lobby features the flags of more than 150 other countries placed in alphabetical order. Cuba falls between Croatia and Cyprus in that arrangement.
Later on Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry will meet at the department with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez after which they will hold a joint news conference, Kirby said.
