Prekindergarten programs, health care and women's rights dominated a conversation Saturday between New Mayor de Blasio and Cuban President Raul Castro.
The two men met for an hour at the Cuban Mission to the United Nations in New York, a spokesman for the mayor said. Cuban history was also part of the discussion, he said.
Castro is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly. He met with Gov. Cuomo on Friday.
The Cuban Mission invited the mayor to meet with Castro, said Peter Kadushin, de Blasio's spokesman, adding that the two men had a "productive exchange of ideas."
De Blasio and Castro were joined by members of their families, as well as officials from their administrations.
