HAVANA - Raul Castro was selected Sunday to be Cuba's president, succeeding his sick brother Fidel Castro, who retired five days ago after 49 years at the helm of the West's last communist country, a deputy said.
The transition was not likely to bring a major shift in policies of the communist government that have put it at odds with the United States. But many Cubans were hoping it would open the door to modest economic reforms and improvement in their daily lives.
The parliament selected a new 31-member ruling body known as the Council of State to lead the country. The council's president serves as the head of state and government.
