Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro marked his 89th birthday with Cuba’s two closest allies in the hemisphere, Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro and Bolivia President Evo Morales.

Morales arrived in Cuba on Wednesday to celebrate Castro’s birthday.

“We come to celebrate our older brother’s birthday,” Morales said.

“For Bolivia, all the affection and admiration of the world,” Castro told Morales.

He was accompanied by Bolivia’s Foreign Minister, David Choquehuanca.

The meeting between the three reportedly lasted three hours.
