"As part of his trip to Latin America … this month, the president will also visit Cuba," spokeswoman Natalya Timakova told reporters on the sidelines of an EU-Russia summit in the French resort of Nice.

Medvedev had been scheduled only to visit Venezuela, Brazil and Peru on his tour of the region. His spokeswoman did not give an exact date for the Cuban leg of the trip.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Friday that Medvedev would visit his country Nov. 26.
