Bolivia’s Morales visits ‘very lucid’ Fidel Castro

Bolivian President Evo Morales met with Cuba’s Fidel Castro here late Thursday and said the ailing revolutionary icon was “very lucid” and looking much “stronger” than last year. “He appeared very lucid, very wise and stronger, because after my previous visit, months back, I was worried. But now I know that Fidel is feeling very well,” Morales told reporters shortly before leaving Havana after a one-day working visit to the island nation.

The Bolivian chief executive, a close ally of communist-run Cuba, was also recieved by Castro on his previous trip in May 2008. He stressed after his latest two-hour meeting that the former Cuban president, 82, was “as always, preoccupied with politics,” society and economics.
