Around the World: Cuba

Lula da Silva visits Castro

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva had an "emotional" meeting on Wednesday on Lula's last official trip to the island before his term expires, Cuban media reported. Photographs showed the two longtime friends chatting and smiling while sitting around a table and standing in the backyard of a two-story home. Lula told reporters the ailing 83-year-old looked "exceptionally good," media reports said.
