Friday September 10 2010
Fidel Castro has said his comments about Cuba's communist economic model were misinterpreted by a visiting American journalist.
Appearing at the University of Havana, the 84-year-old ex-president says he meant "exactly the opposite" of the quote contained in a blog by Atlantic magazine reporter Jeffrey Goldberg.
Goldberg wrote that he asked Castro if Cuba's economic system was still worth exporting to other countries. He said that Castro replied: "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us any more."
