Fidel Castro, Correa Meet in Havana

Havana - Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa on Friday met for several hours with the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, in Havana, to discuss social projects under way in the two countries.

The Juventud Rebelde daily reported on Sunday that Correa and the Cuban leader exchanged viewpoints about the current revolutionary situation in Cuba and Ecuador in their search for greater equality and social justice.

The two leaders spoke about the achievements of the citizen's revolution carried out by Correa, particularly in the economy, education and health.

Fidel Castro praised the Manuela Espejo Mission, which provides efficient medical and social care to Ecuadorian disabled people.

In the fraternal meeting, Fidel and Correa reviewed major international problems, talked about cultural and historic issues and ways to boost even further current friendship ties between Cuba and Ecuador.

Correa paid an official visit to Cuba early in 2009. Now he has returned on a private visit to rest and undergo a medical checkup.
