Cuban President Fidel Castro has spoken live on his Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chavez's weekly TV show, BBC reported late on Sunday.
It was the first time Castro spoke live since handing over power last year as he underwent a serious operation.
The chat show has been broadcast from Cuba, where Chavez arrived to mark the 40th anniversary of the killing of revolutionary icon Ernesto Che Guevara.
Castro phoned to discuss the Guevara legacy, and the two leaders laughed and joked together for several minutes.
Video footage from a meeting between Chavez and the Cuban leader, said to have been filmed on Saturday, was also aired during the programme.
It showed Venezuela's head of state singing hymns to Castro and calling him "father of all revolutionaries".
In September, pictures of the Cuban president were broadcast, ending rumours that he had died or suffered a major relapse.
