    Obama and Raul Castro shook hands at opening of the Americas summit in Panama

    A US official described the Obama-Castro greeting as an “informal interaction,” adding that “there was not a substantive conversation between the two leaders.”

    US President Barack Obama and Cuba's Raul Castro on Friday shook hands and sat near each other at the historic Panama Summit of the Americas, a new milestone in efforts to shed decades of animosity. Obama and Castro greeted each other as UN chief Ban Ki-moon looked on, before taking their seats with other regional leaders at a Panama City convention center.
