Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner arrived in Cuba Sunday on a visit to enhance bilateral ties and cooperation between the two nations, local media reported.

Kirchner made the trip at the invitation of his Cuban counterpart, Raul Castro.

This is the first official visit to Cuba by a Argentine president in 23 years, which seeks to revitalize bilateral ties.

Kirchner will have talks with Castro and other Cuban leaders and visit places of historical, economical and social interests, local newspaper Granma reported.

Fernandez has delayed her visit to Cuba for a week due to a sudden health problem which kept her away from domestic political affairs.

After her visit to Cuba, Fernandez will travel to Venezuela on Wednesday, where she will meet with President Hugo Chavez.
