From Times Wire Reports
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said his friend and ally Fidel Castro has “almost totally recovered” and has informally resumed “a good part” of his duties as Cuba’s leader.
Speaking at a televised news conference, Chavez said the 80-year-old Cuban leader’s marked improvement was clear. But, he said, he could not predict when Castro would fully recover.
Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Roque said Castro was getting stronger every day.
