Venezuela has suspended a regional summit scheduled for 5 July amid continuing speculation over the state of health of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
President Chavez left Venezuela on 8 June for Cuba, where he had surgery, apparently for a pelvic abscess.
On Tuesday, Cuban state TV aired images of President Chavez talking animatedly to former Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
But officials said the summit, which he was due to host, had been delayed.
Analysts say the suspension of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) meeting will be a blow to President Chavez. He was due to chair the first gathering of the new regional bloc on Margarita island, off the Venezuelan coast.
