Havanaâ€“APA. Leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro said he was well, but insisted that the Cuban government shouldnâ€™t feel bound by state of his health, APA reports. Recently there were reports about decline of his health caused by rare publication of his Reflections. Castro spoke to the newspapers about his meeting with the Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner this week. â€œI have reduced the Reflections as I had planned this year, so as not to interfere or get in the way of the (Communist) Party or government comrades in the constant decisions they must make, facing difficult objectives caused by the global economic crisis. I am well, but I insist that none of them should feel bound by my occasional Reflections, my state of health or my death. I read over the speeches and materials I have put together over more than half a century. I have had the rare privilege to observe events over such a long time. I receive information and meditate calmly about those events. I expect I won’t enjoy that privilege in four years, when Obama’s first presidential term has ended.
