Havana:
New pictures of Fidel Castro show the stooped but smiling former Cuban leader venturing out to meet with workers at a scientific think tank - the first to show him in public since he got sick four years ago.
Previously, Cuba had occasionally released pictures showing him in private meetings with dignitaries, most recently during a visit in February by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. In those pictures, Castro looked cheerful and robust.
The latest batch of pictures of the tracksuit-clad Castro was posted on the blogs of two Cuban journalists and a media website on Saturday.
Castro appears slightly stooped but otherwise healthy in the pictures, which were said to have been taken Wednesday during a visit to the National Center for Scientific Investigation in Havana.
