VOICED : Putin en Cuba por gira latinoamericana

Cuban President Raúl Castro welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin in Cuba as part of Putin's regional tour, which includes Argentina and Brazil. The visit aims to boost Russian investments in Latin America. Cuba and Russia, former Cold War allies, signed several bilateral agreements. During the reception, Castro humorously suggested breaking formalities by adopting local attire. Putin's visit followed the signing of an agreement canceling 90% of Cuba's debt to the former Soviet Union. He also met with former President Fidel Castro after 14 years. The tour occurs amid US-Russia tensions over Ukraine, with the US threatening new sanctions if Russia continues supporting pro-Russian separatists.
