Fidel Castro Says Cuba Open To Dialogue With Obama
Havana - Cuba is open to dialogue with U.S. President-elect Barack Obama, but not to "negotiate" over its sovereignty, Fidel Castro, the country's former leader, said in an article published on Friday.

Cuba can hold talks with Obama at any place he wants but the president-elect should be aware that "the carrot and the stick" approach will never work with the Latin American nation, Castro wrote in the signed article "Sailing against the tide," which was published by the official newspaper Granma.

Raul Castro, president of the council of the state of Cuba, said in a November interview with American actor Sean Penn that he was willing to talk with Obama in a "neutral place," such as the U.S. Navy Station at Guantanamo Bay.
