A new picture of Fidel Castro has been published in a state-run newspaper, showing Cuba's ailing former leader in much better health. The photograph in the Communist Youth newspaper, showed Mr. Castro talking to Ecuador's left-wing president, Rafael Correa.
The 83-year old as not been seen in public since undergoing an operation in 2006.
He stepped down and his younger brother, Raul, took over his various responsibilities.
Since then he has undergone a series of major intestinal operations, although the state of his health and whereabouts remain state secrets.
