Ailing Cuban President Fidel Castro and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan have met in the Cuban leader's hospital room, the Juventud Rebelde daily said, publishing a photograph of the meeting. Castro, wearing a dressing gown, is seen shaking Annan's hand in the picture taken late Thursday, soon after the UN chief arrived in Havana for the September 11-17 Non-Aligned Movement meeting. "During the friendly meeting, the Cuban president and the top UN representative exchanged opinions on the relevance of the Non-Aligned Summit and other major international issues such as the Middle East situation and current events in Africa," Juventud Rebelde said Friday.
