A legislative session that will see a historic political transition in Cuba is going to start one day earlier than expected.

Cuban state media reported today that the government moved up the start of a meeting of the National Assembly in which President Raul Castro plans to step down and hand over the office to a younger successor.

The session will now start on Wednesday instead of Thursday.

Website Cubadebate said the session was moved up to prepare for a "session of such importance."
