Johannesburg
- US President Barack Obama has shaken hands with Cuban President Raul Castro
at a memorial service for former president Nelson Mandela.
The handshake between the leaders of the two Cold War
enemies came during a ceremony that's focused on Mandela's legacy of
reconciliation.
Obama was greeting a line of world leaders and heads of
state attending the memorial in Johannesburg.
He also shook hands with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff,
who has clashed with Obama over alleged National Security Agency spying.
The US and Cuba
have recently taken small steps toward rapprochement, raising hopes the two
nations could be on the verge of a breakthrough in relations. But sceptics
caution that the two countries have shown signs of a thaw in the past, only to
fall back into old recriminations.
