A new level of economic and academic co-operation is expected between Russia and Cuba following the visit by Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, eldest son of Fidel Castro, born in 1949.

The 88 year old ex-president is 'following what we are doing in the country', said Fidel Castro junior.

Cuban Ambassador to Russia Emilio Garcia Lozada answering a question from Novosiribsk Mayor Anatoly Lokot said the former leader was 'very well'.

Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, scientific advisor of the State Council of Cuba, proposed moves for closer relations between Havana and Novosibirsk. The sides will consider making a sister-city agreement, along with organizing festivals aimed at promoting cultural ties.

The Cubans showed particular interest in the Novosibirsk Scientific Centre.

Novosibirsk governor Vladimir Gorodetsky said: 'New opportunities and cooperation with other countries in the important spheres is always a priority for us in the implementation of foreign economic policy. 

'We will analyse the promising areas of cooperation with the Republic of Cuba, especially in the fields of intellectual cooperation.'

One thing I'll say about Cuba is, they have a great health service, second to none. Now I hope as they are opening up again especially to the US, that everything about Cuba will be "Great"!
