MONTEVIDEO, Feb. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- Cuba and Uruguay will resume diplomatic relations after the swearing-in ceremony of Uruguay's President-elect Tabare Vazquez, the radio El Espectador reported Thursday.

    Cuban leader Fidel Castro will arrive in Uruguay early next Tuesday to attend the ceremony set for Wednesday evening. He is expected to deliver a speech during the event.

    Uruguay broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba in 2002 after Castro described Uruguayan President Jorge Batlle as a "Juda" after Uruguay sponsored a United Nations resolution on Cuba's human rights record.
