Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel saidRaúl Castro is leading ongoing talks with the United States, offering a rare glimpse into a diplomatic process that authorities had previously handled with limited public acknowledgment.
In an interview with Spanish politician Pablo Iglesias, Díaz-Canel said Castro "is one of those who has directed, together with me and other institutions of the party, government and state, how we should conduct this dialogue process." He added that the talks are taking place "under the direction of the army general," referring to Castro, whom he described as the "historic leader of the revolution," despite no longer holding formal office.
