Speaking at an outdoor event to discuss the affects of U.S. trade embargoes against Cuba on Tuesday, Perez Roque said Castro is recovering and "We will again have him leading the resolution."

The foreign minister did not say when Castro will return.

Castro temporarily relinquished his powers to Defense Minister Raul Castro because of surgery in late July.

Raul Castro, 75, is officially in charge of Cuba until Fidel Castro is well enough to get back to work full time.
