Cuban President Raul Castro began on Sunday a three day visit to Algeria at the invitation of his Algerian counterpart Abdelaziz Bouteflika, APS news agency reported.

Upon his arrival at the international airport of Algiers, Castro was welcomed by Algeria's Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal and speaker of the upper house of parliament Abdelkader Bensalah.

The two heads of state will "exchange views on international hotspot issues, particularly in Africa, Arab region and the Americas," according to a statement of the president office.
