Fidel Castro says Cuba open to talks with Obama

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro said on Thursday his country was open to talks with US President-elect Barack Obama, Havana's latest overture toward the incoming Democratic administration in Washington.

"With Obama, talks could happen anywhere he wants," Castro, America's longtime Cold War enemy, wrote in the latest of a series of columns he has published in state-run media since falling ill in 2006. (AP)
