Former Cuban President Fidel Castro talks to President of Cuba's University Students Federation Randy Perdomo during a meeting in Havana


Former Cuban President Fidel Castro and President of Cuba's University Students Federation Randy Perdomo look at a newspaper during a meeting in...


I call him the man with a nine lives, after having escaped assassination from the US government more than 600 times.
There was a need to reassure the people of Cuban that their leader is doing well after rumour carried it that his health has deteriorated.


The images showed the 88-year-old Castro at his home along with his wife Dalia during a meeting with the leader of a students' union, and were published in the state-run newspaper Granma and other official media.
Castro had remained quiet publicly after the United States and Cuba announced in December that they were going to restore diplomatic relations after a half century of enmity stemming from the Cold War.
That silence prompted chatter on social media and in foreign media that Castro was sick or even had died. (AFP)
