Vindications
Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez
proclaimed here before university authorities, students and Indian
intellectuals that the 21st century is the time for Third World
vindications and it will depend on its peoples.
Chavez delivered an emotional speech Friday, inspired by his Brazilian
counterpart, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva´s similar words, at Jawaharlal
Nehru University in India as part of a State visit to this Asian nation.
A group of Venezuelan friends, students´ organizations and popular
movements joined the large crowd that filled up one of the sports
facilities of the university to listen to the Head of State.
Chavez remembered the work of outstanding personalities of Indian
history and the world like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru and asked
to invoke the high anti-colonialist spirit that characterized them.
"Men like Gandhi never died, they are over here, among the Indian people
and the people fighting for their dignity", said the Venezuelan
president who asked those present to take on a commitment of real unity.
Shortly before the meeting Chavez put a flower offering to the monument
in the memory of the father of the Indian independence.
The objective of Hugo Chavez visit to India is to improve even more the
excellent relations between two developing countries with common
interests.
In his arrival to this capital Chavez was received by his counterpart
Abdul Kalam.
Both nations signed cooperation agreements in the hydrocarbons sector,
biotechnology and railroad as well as an agreement to create an
Indian-Venezuelan Joint Commission.
