Chilean President: Castro In
Very Good Shape
Havana - Former Cuban leader Fidel
Castro is "in very good shape," Chilean President Michelle Bachelet
said after meeting with him Thursday in Havana.
"It has been a pleasurable meeting, very important and of very high
level, and the truth is that I think it was very positive," Bachelet
told reporters at the University of Havana, referring to her meeting
with Castro on the second day of her official visit to Cuba.
"As always, Fidel Castro (is) very interested in Chilean
issues...(He is) interested in the unemployment issues, (and in)
areas where we have succeeded, like the grape-wine sector, the
development of our economy," she added.
Bachelet said the meeting was "a dialogue (that is) very important
for the challenges before the region," especially those faced by
Latin American countries in the context of the international credit
crisis.
She added that the two sides shared views on how to strengthen
commercial exchanges and to improve entry into different markets.
