Cuban President Raul Castro has been welcomed at the Vatican by Pope Francis, who played a key role in the breakthrough between Washington and Havana aimed at restoring U.S.-Cuban diplomatic ties.
The Vatican described Francis' meeting Sunday with Castro as strictly private. In keeping with Francis' informal style, the two met in a studio near the Vatican public audience hall, instead of in the more imposing library in the Apostolic Palace, where heads of state traditionally are received.
The pope will stop in Cuba in September for a visit, part of a pilgrimage that will then take him to Washington, Philadelphia and New York.
