Brilio.net/en - Cuban politician and revolutionary Fidel Castro died at the age of 90 on Saturday. The controversial figure ruled Cuba for five nearly five decades up until 1976 and has managed to evade numerous assasination attempts by the United States government throughout.
In Indonesia, however, Castro is known for his warm relationship with former President Soekarno, as can be seen in these photos taken during the latter's visit to Cuba in 1960, where Castro personally went to greet Soekarno at the airport.
