The Argentine presidency released photographs of a lunchtime encounter between President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro, showing that they’re both in relatively good health.

Kirchner also published them on her official Twitter account.

‘We talked about everything, but above all a symbol of the meeting of all Latin America and the Caribbean in Havana. ... Yes, of course we talked about Hugo too. A lot. Indelible memories,’ her Twitter feed said.
