FILE.- President Leonel Fernandez will meet with Cuban leader Fidel Castro Tuesday afternoon, according to reports in the Dominican capital, although there’s no indication as to when he would see the convalescent Cuban leader.
Upon arriving in Havana yesterday, Fernandez stated his desire to meet with Castro, but clarified he didn’t know if it would take place because it depends on the Cuban protocol.
The chief executive is slated to meet with Cuba’s president Raul Castro at 5 p.m., when he’s expected to sign several bilateral agreements.
Fernandez is in Cuba on an official five day visit to participate in an international gathering of economists, who’ll dictate the conference Problems of Globalization and Development, in the University of Havana.
