“Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez met with former Cuban President Fidel Castro to discuss the world’s food, energy and financial crises during a private three-hour meeting, state media reported Tuesday.

No details about the health of the ailing 81-year-old Castro were released by the online edition of the Communist Party daily Granma in its report on Monday’s meeting. The newspaper released no new images of Castro, who has not been seen in public since he fell ill nearly two years ago. Castro’s last official photograph was released in January.”*
