Brazil's Lula to visit Cuba

BRASILIA, Brazil (AFP):  Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
will visit Cuba on November 22-33 and hopes to see ailing leader Fidel
Castro during the trip, the foreign ministry announced Tuesday.

On the official visit Lula is tentatively planning to meet with Fidel
Castro's brother Raul, who has acted as interim president ever since
Fidel underwent surgery in July 2006, according to government officials.

But the meeting still needs to be confirmed, the officials said.

Lula indicated he might go to Cuba at the Ibero-American summit last
week in Santiago, Chile.

"I don't know what the state of his health is, but if it is good, yes
we will meet," Lula said during the summit.

The visit comes after an invitation from Cuba, according to the foreign
ministry.
