Fidel Castro appears in TV interview

Cuban television showed an on-air interview with Fidel Castro last night where he discussed topics such as politics as well as his health. In the interview which was taped on Monday, Fidel admitted to “doing all the things that needed to be done” to improve his health though he gave no indication as to whether he will return since ceding power to his brother Raul last July.

According to a report by MSNBC:

“(Fidel’s) train of thought was often harder to follow than it had been before his illness. And the most notable thing about the hour-long interview with Randy Alonso, host of the government’s nightly “Round Table” program, was how much stronger and healthier Castro appeared than in previous glimpses of him”.

Here’s the first four-and-a-half minutes of the interview with Fidel where he talked about a weekend visit from Vietnamese government officials (via YouTube):
