NICE, November 14 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will visit Cuba, as well as Venezuela and Brazil, after attending the November 22-23 APEC summit in Peru, a presidential spokeswoman said on Friday.
"The big Latin American tour is connected with the APEC summit in Lima, after which the president will visit Venezuela, Brazil and Cuba," Natalya Timakova said.
An invitation to visit Cuba from President Raul Castro was given to Medvedev by Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque, who visited Moscow this week.
The Russian government announced last week it had approved a state loan to Cuba of up to $335 million to buy Russian goods and services.
In 2007, trade between Russia and Cuba totaled about $300 million.
