HAVANA -- Uruguay's president has met with Fidel Castro and says the
retired Cuban leader is mentally sharp as he nears his 87th birthday.

Jose Mujica says he found "an elderly man who continues to be brilliant,
always a promoter of ideas."

Mujica told reporters on Thursday that they had a wide-ranging
conversation about "everything" in their meeting late Wednesday.

The Uruguayan president is in Cuba to attend celebrations of the 60th
anniversary of a failed attack on a military barracks that is considered
the start of Castro's revolution.

Mujica also met with Castro's younger brother Raul, Cuba's current
president.
