Raul Castro due in Moscow Wednesday for week-long visit

Sahil Nagpal 27 January 2009

Raul Castro due in Moscow Wednesday for week-long visit Moscow - Cuban President Raul Castro is due in Moscow on Wednesday for a week-long visit, the Kremlin press service said Monday, in the latest sign of reviving relations between the Cold War allies.

President Dmitry Medvedev extended Castro the invitation while on a visit to Havana in November.

Many see Moscow's warming ties with the small communist island, long an arch-foe of the United States, as a snub of Washington in anger over US missile defence plans and post-war aide to Georgia.

Possible bilateral deals in the energy sector among others are planned during the visit, said Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin last week ahead of the visit. dpa
