Obama shakes hands with Raul Castro at Mandela memorial
Cuban President Raul Castro introduced himself to President Barack Obama in English at Nelson Mandela's funeral Uomo Air Force One 07 Basse Oro Bianche Saldi , telling him, "Mr. President, I'm Castro," as the two leaders shook hands.


That's according to Castro's brother, Fidel Uomo Air Force One Basse Verdi Saldi , who broke months of silence Thursday with a lengthy editorial in state media discussing Cuba's ties to Mandela and his brother's trip to South Africa for his funeral.


The Dec. 10 handshake set off speculation in the U.S. and Cuba about whether it signaled a warming of ties between the two nations after decades of animosity. U.S. and Cuban officials dismissed that, calling the handshake a mere courtesy.


In his 2,400-word essay published Friday on the front pages of Cuba's government-run newspapers and websites, Fidel Castro congratulated his brother for his "steadfastness and dignity, when Donna Air Force One Alte Verdi Saldi , with a friendly but firm gesture, he greeted the head of the U.S. government and told him in English, 'Mr. President, I'm Castro.'"


Castro, 87 Uomo Air Force One Alte Bianche Nere Saldi , handed over leadership of Cuba to his brother after suffering intestinal bleeding in 2006. He last wrote one of his trademark editorials and appeared in a photo in September. When Mandela died and Castro failed to appear in public or write about the loss of a close ally, many inside and outside Cuba wondered if it was an indication that his health had worsened.


As If to dispel those thoughts, the Cuban government on Monday published a photo of a vigorous-looking Castro meeting with a Spanish journalist three days earlier.


The journalist, Ignacio Ramonet, told The Associated Press that he and Castro discussed a wide range of topics including Mandela Air Force One Uomo Basse Rosse Saldi , Venezuelan politics and climate change and "I found him to be in excellent health and in a good mood, physically, mentally and psychologically."


Castro wrote extensively about his relationship with Mandela in the article published Thursday, discussing Cuba's backing of Angolan fighters who battled forces supported by the pro-apartheid South African government of the 1980s. He condemned the United States for supporting the opposing forces.

WELLINGTON, April 6 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand's only state-owned bank is to get new shareholders under a proposal that has sparked concerns it could lead to privatization.


The government announced Wednesday that NZ Post Uomo Air Force One Basse Rosse Grigie Saldi , the state-owned mail service and parent of Kiwibank, could sell 45 percent of Kiwibank to two other government agencies: the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) insurer and the New Zealand Super Fund (NZSF), the state-owned pension fund.


"Kiwibank will remain 100-percent government-owned - that is a bottom-line," Finance Minister Bill English said in a statement.


"To ensure this occurs, the proposal includes a right of first refusal for the government over any future sale of shares which we would exercise."


State Owned Enterprises Minister Todd McClay said the proposal Uomo Air Force One Alte Rosse Bianche Saldi , which valued Kiwibank at 1.1 billion NZ dollars (0.75 billion U.S. dollars), could see benefits for Kiwibank, NZ Post, ACC, NZSF and taxpayers Air Force One Basse Nere Rosse Uomo Saldi , but it needed to stack up for all parties before it proceeded.


"When NZ Post's chair Sir Michael Cullen approached ministers with the proposal, he explained it could give Kiwibank access to extra sources of capital for future growth and broaden its exposure to commercial expertise," McClay said in the statement.


"NZSF and ACC would have an investment in a profitable local company. NZ Post would receive a return for the shares, some of which would be used to repay debt built up to support Kiwibank's expansion and some would be paid to the government as a special dividend."


NZ Post, NZSF and ACC were currently in discussions over the details of the transaction and a final decision would be made later this financial year.


Kiwibank Air Force One Mid 07 Nere Saldi , which was launched in 2002 amid concerns that New Zealand's commercial banking sector had been largely sold into foreign hands and needed local competition, has been struggling to expand due to a lack of capital.


NZ Post has also seen revenues dwindle and is undergoing a major round of job cuts.


Unions and opposition lawmakers warned the move could be the first step in the privatization of both NZ Post and Kiwibank.


The opposition Green Party said the government's failure to inject capital in Kiwibank had forced NZ Post to take a step down the road to privatization of the bank.


"Bill English says he'll buy the Kiwibank shares back if he has to in five years, but he won't be Finance Minister then, so any promises he makes today are hollow," Green Party co-leader James Shaw said in a statement.


RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- China's women's basketball head coach Thomas Maher was happy with their Olympic trip in Rio 2016 though China failed to advance into top 8, and the Australian predicted a great future of the young Chinese team.


"I am very happy. I think we played good basketball. We played to our level," Maher said minutes before leaving the Olympic Village on Wednesday.


"They are above our level. We are not No. 6 in the world. We are like 8-10. The next phase for us is to get 6 or 7. That's our way, to be able to play at that level," he said. "I'm very happy with the way we play basketball. We played nice basketball. There are some teams just better than us."


China finished fifth in the preliminary round with one win and four losses, a big drop compared to the sixth finish in the 2012 London Games.


"Shao Ting and Lu Wen had good tournament. I think those players are already ready to play international basketball. But the players that are gonna make difference are the younger group, and they have fantastic chances to be great.
