ADVERTISEMENT Castro, 77, welcomed the Americans -- seven Democrats from the US Congressional black caucus -- Monday in the name of his ailing elder brother, former president Fidel Castro, 82, a US nemesis for five decades. The US group had met Friday with National Assembly speaker Ricardo Alarcon, as delegation leader Representative Barbara Lee said the talks pointed to a change in the tone of relations between foes Havana and Washington. Lee said the group was hopeful US-Cuban relations would change for the better under US President Barack Obama. "That's why we're here," she said. Fidel Castro had met Lee on her prior trips to Cuba, but Raul said he "had not had the honour" of meeting her, according to Cuban television. While campaigning last year, Obama said he was open to new dialogue with Washington's adversaries, including Cuba, and as president he has moved to lift some restrictions on US citizens travelling to Cuba and to ease cash transfers to the island. At the lawmakers' landmark meeting with Raul Castro, the Cuban government also was represented by Alarcon and the Communist Party's top official for the capital city, Pedro Saenz. Both are members of Cuba's Politburo. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez was also there as was Jorge Bolanos, the head of the Cuban Interests Section in Washington, state media said, without offering details on the talks. The outreach came after Fidel Castro said the communist nation welcomes dialogue with the United States and did not want five decades of confrontation with its powerful neighbour to drag on. Fidel Castro's comments came as the US lawmakers visited Cuba to try to end mutual distrust and amid reports that Obama was planning to ease economic sanctions, including travel restrictions on Cuban-Americans. "We're not afraid to talk with the United States. We also don't need confrontation to exist, like some fools like to think," Fidel Castro said in an article on the Cubadebate website Sunday. Castro said the 47-year-old US economic embargo on Cuba was a "total failure." He backed US Republican Senator Richard Lugar's recent proposal that the White House appoint a special envoy to review relations with Cuba. "Those who can quietly analyse the facts, like the Indiana senator, have an indisputable argument: after nearly half a century, the US measures against Cuba are a total failure." "We exist precisely because we believe in our ideas, and we've never been afraid to talk with our adversary. It's the only way to achieve friendship and peace between peoples," he added. In a separate article, Fidel Castro called on Latin American nations to support an end to his country's isolation at a regional summit this month that will include Obama. Castro said the Summit of the Americas would be a "trial by fire" as regional nations discuss the Cuba-US confrontation. The leader of Cuba's 1959 revolution said a draft of the text set to be discussed by leaders from Latin America, the Caribbean and North America was "unacceptable" and would result in the continued isolation of Cuba, the only one-party communist country in the Americas. Almost all governments in the region support an end to the embargo, but most have shied away from imperilling ties with the United States in pursuit of that end. Cuba was not invited to the April 17-19 summit in Trinidad and Tobago, as the United States long has sought to exclude it from regional meetings. Castro's call was backed by his top ally, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. "We cannot accept that the United States continues harassing Cuba. This is still a question of honour," Chavez told a state television. "We should ask ourselves: If we are all friends of Cuba, why does this country not exist? But we are not going to keep our mouths closed ... in Trinidad and Tobago."
