TV grab from state-owned Cubana Television channel showing a picture taken by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Cuban President Fidel Castro during a meeting 15 January 2008 in Havana. In seclusion since undergoing intestinal surgery 17 months ago, the 81-year-old president fueled speculation that he was finally ready to retire when he declared in December that he would not cling to office or obstruct the rise of a new generation of leaders. But his intentions remain a mystery and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva fed the uncertainty after meeting Castro, saying that the veteran leader appeared healthy enough "to take on his political role."
