The two leaders warmly shook hands, exchanged greetings and had a two-hour-long conversation in a sincere and friendly atmosphere on bilateral relations and other issues of common concern, the sources added.
At the invitation of Ricardo Alarcon de Quesada, president of the Cuban National Assembly of People's Power (CNAPP), Wu, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, arrived in Havana on Tuesday.
