Castro Consulted On
Major Policy-Making
Cuban leader Fidel
Castro spent a lot of
time mulling over world
situations and always
consulted over major
policy making of the
state, said Defense
Minister Raul Castro on
Monday.
Castro, who is
recovering from an
intestinal operation in
July 2006, undergoes
considerable daily
physical exercises, said
Raul Castro, who is also
the nation's acting
leader.
He made the remarks
during a tour in the
country's second largest
city of Santiago de Cuba
ahead of elections for
national and provincial
assemblies slated for
Jan. 20, 2008.
Castro was nominated by
Santiago constituency as
a candidate for the
national assembly.
Castro has asked Raul to
visit the city to listen
to voters on his behalf
as his health at present
does not permit him to
do so, according to Raul
Castro.
