Chavez to Uribe: Rebuild
Confidence
Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez urged his
Colombian peer Alvaro
Uribe to regain the
confidence lost between
their governments.
From Brasilia, where he
is attending the summit
of the Union of South
American Nations, Chavez
told state-Venezolana de
Television on Friday
that they met for a few
minutes and he told
Uribe about his
commitment to peace and
to respect for
differences.
Chavez described their
meeting as relaxed. "I
think it was worthwhile
and even nice," he said.
He termed as "wonderful"
the idea to create the
South American Defense
Council and explained
that the heads of State
present in the summit
decided to set up a
commission to draft a
project in this regard.
Regarding the Bogota
decision to remain out
of the defensive
alliance, Chavez said
that every country has
its peculiarities and
they must be respected.
